"Mousetrap" at Sandy Actor's Theatre auditions

Saturday, January 5, 2013

1 PM to 4 PM
Sandy Actors Theatre
14733 Meinig Ave. (behind Ace Hardware)
Sandy, OR 97055

The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie
Performance dates: April 5 through April 28
Directed by Doug Holtry

Synopsis:
At Monkswell Manor, the news on the radio reports a murder has recently taken place in London. Mollie and Giles Ralston, the young owners of the once-regal estate recently converted into a guesthouse, hardly notice the news. They are far too busy preparing for the arrival of their first guests and concerned the heavy snowfalls may prevent the guests reaching their destination. As the guests arrive safely and the Manor becomes snowed in, a policeman arrives on skis suspecting one of the seven occupants may be the killer. After a second murder occurs in the Manor, Sergeant Trotter is convinced.

Suspects include the young married couple, a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired army major, and an unexpected visitor who claims his car has run into a snowdrift. During his interrogation, Sergeant Trotter uncovers the many mysterious secrets of everyone present, as he tries to solve the murder in true Christie style.

All roles available

NOTE: Auditions will be cold readings from the scripts. However, headshots, resumes, and/or monologues are welcome, but not required. (If you have a prepared monologue, you will be given the opportunity to share it as an additional basis for consideration.) All are welcome and no experience is necessary.

We also are recruiting crew positions (Stage Mgr., Asst., Stage Mgr., Lights & Sound technicians, Costumers, Props, Set Builders, Set Painters) for these productions. If interested in these areas, please attend the auditions.

Actresses Wanted for short drama film (Portland)

I am currently a film student, doing independent film work in addition to school work as well, and am preparing to shoot a short film tentatively titled "Intersection", which follows a collection of female characters at different stages in their lives all approaching the same street intersection and whom are possibly on the verge of having a multi-car accident there. Each character has a legitimate reason for being distracted, which might make her responsible for an accident, and furthermore these characters are interconnected with one another. I am looking for actresses to fill in the roles of these various characters for which I have listed below. Each character has their own parts in the film, each of which will be approximately five minute segments.

CHARACTERS/SCENES:
ERIKA (20-30 years old) - a young woman working as a pizza delivery person who is caught up in the sluggishness of her life, which goes in conflict with her job which requires her to rush all around town making timely deliveries. As she reflects on her life, while in a rush, she is quite distracted.

NADINE (30-35 years old) - something of a "soccer mom" type character, who is very caught up in her busy life, which primarily focuses on her multiple children. Her greatest distraction is repeatedly having to check her cell phone, distracting her repeatedly.

GEENA (30-35 years old) - woman in a very unhappy and lifeless marriage of which she feels no happiness or spark from. Due to this she has to find her own ways to seek release in life. As she is out on a drive alone on a straightaway she tries to find some pleasure in speeding, which puts her in a dangerous place as she approaches the intersection.

ABBY & TORRY (both about 25 years old) - a young lesbian couple who have found themselves becoming listless together and are about to go out of town to try and spice up their rather young relationship. As they try and have a serious talk and connection they become distracted approaching the intersection.

CHELSEY (character is 16-17 years old, played by someone around 18-20 years of age) - a young driver on her way to a friends house after having a fight with her parents over the way she's been leading her young life. Distracted by inexperience and her exaggerated frustration at her parents.

LYNDSEY (20 years old) - An inexperienced driver without a license who borrows a friends car after another friend calls her with an emergency in which her help is needed. The simple fact that she is a poor driver, caught up in her friends recent emergency, makes her a liability out on the road.

LYDIA (20-25 years old) - has been in an abusive relationship for the past couple years and she has chosen this day to try and flee at all cost. She doesn't know until she's out on the road that her possessive boyfriend is aware of her efforts to try and get away.

Elliott's parents are in the midst of a divorce and his dad has left for California. Without a father around, Elliott finds a substitute in Dave, leader of the Cedar Rapids Chess Club. Dave talks about taking control of life but his only lever on fate is a screenplay about NYPD officers who travel back in time to stop 9-11. While struggling to follow his calling, Dave's posturing helps inspire Elliott to start making decisions for himself.

Written by Sarah Mirk and directed by Arthur Smid, CEDAR RAPIDS CHESS CLUB is a 22 minute video released online in six parts. Principal photography takes place in February and the first part launches March 13, 2013.

SHORT FILM NEEDS VIETNAMESE ACTORS (Inner Southeast)Greetings!

I'm a local filmmaker currently working on a short film that's been in development for the past year called, "Sway of the Knife." With the recent success of our Kickstarter campaign where we raised 6K, we are now ready to start production!

"Sway" will be shot in two parts: A "Winter" shoot in February of 2013 and a "Summer" shoot in July or August of 2013. At the moment we are casting for several supporting roles and one lead role. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN "ACTOR," YOU JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACT.

*We are able to offer compensation for our lead role but the supporting roles will either be volunteer or stipend based.*

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT US AND OUR FILM VISIT OUR KICKSTARTER PAGE AND COMPANY WEBSITE BELOW
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2001456699/sway-of-the-knife
www.nomenstatua.com

ABOUT THE ROLES

-Michael-
25-35 year old Vietnamese male of average build. Having been raised in the US since early childhood, English is his primary language. However, he can speak Vietnamese at a grade school level. Michael is a business professional with a contrived comportment of control and intentionality. He at one time pursued creative writing educationally and professionally. His current life is an unhinging repression of his instinctive artistic desires, a troubled past, and self-ambivalence.

-Miscellaneous Supporting Roles-
We are also casting for people who could play a Vietnamese family who speak Vietnamese fluently consisting of the following:
• Father, 45-50 years old
• Mother, 40-45
• Brother 1, 20-30
• Brother 2, 20-30

-Attendants of a Party-
There are roles for people in a party scene. We'll have a real party with food and refreshments! This scene requires a mixture of genders and ages.

ABOUT THE CASTING PROCESS

Auditions will be throughout December and the first part of the new year. The audition itself will consist of a reading from the script, a brief conversation with the director, and possibly some improvisational scene work.

If you're interested, please send a picture or headshot of yourself. The picture doesn't need to be professionally done, it just needs to give a clear idea of what you look like. In your email, also provide the following information:
1. Name
2. Age
3. Vietnamese Language Skill Level (1-5 with '5' being perfect)
4. English Language Skill Level (1-5 with '5' being perfect)
5. Why you're interested in this project

Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!

The film is about a comedian and investment banker (a couple years out of college) and we are casting for the banker's assistant. There are two scenes we'll probably shoot over two days, including one on location in a cafe. There is a big comedic aspect to the film so comedy chops are very welcome. She's neat and good at her work, though her attitude belies an lack of serious towards her job.

We'll be shooting the week of Dec. 17th and we'd like to cast by next week. We may cast someone if we have enough information to do so, so please send as much as possible. We might also hold auditions. We are novice filmmakers but we are nice and we can pay you!

LAST MINUTE CASTING NOTICE!

This is for an independent feature film being shot in February 2013. Please read thoroughly and reply if it fits you... :)

Zach (30) was orphaned at a young age. He still has resentment towards his mother whom he feels was somehow responsible for the death of his father. He’s charismatic and manipulative, has a sharp wit , and is ego-centric with a sense of entitlement for good measure. He studies post-grad psychology at Reed College, drinks a little too much, and is bisexual. After a late night bar room breakup with his boyfriend Tommy, Zach befriends Mona, the older of two young sisters living alone in the house of their deceased family.

ABOUT “PRESERVATION”, a film by Steven Richter
There is something about the loneliness you feel in the company of the ones closest to you that helps to define who you are. “Preservation” is a film about letting go of that shared familiar space that no longer belongs to you. Two young sisters, Mona and Rachel, whose parents are deceased, live alone in their old childhood house in southeast Portland. Without parental guidance, they have been left to their own devices, a reality they experience in completely different ways. While Mona builds an illusory image of herself as shelter, Rachel finds solace in her music. A man enters their world and sees an opportunity to assert control. A boy watches, intervenes. There may be a greater power in innocence, and the genuine interest people have in one another.

About the Director
Steven Richter is a Portland, Oregon, based filmmaker. He is the founder and director of Academia Internacional de Cinema www.aicinema.com.br , a well known accredited film school located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that has produced more than 1500 short films in its 8 years of activities. Directing credits include The Myth of Drowning (short, Brazil, 2009), based on a story by New York writer Dawn Raffel, and Center of Gravity(feature, Brazil, 2009), which was a nominee for the New Directors Competition at the São Paulo International Film Festival in 2011, and made the official selection for the Raindance Film Festival in London in 2012. He is the founder and director of two production companies: Universal Remote Films (São Paulo, Brazil), connected to Academia Internacional de Cinema, producer of “Center of Gravity”) and Reverie Films (Portland, U.S.A.), which is currently producing his next feature film, “Preservation”, to be shot in Portland in February 2013.

SHORT FILM CASTING CALL (Downtown Portland)

CASTING WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 4PM-7PM ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 7TH IN THE URBAN AFFAIRS BUILDING AT 506 SW Mill Street, Portland, Oregon 97201 IN ROOM #304.

The film will have a 5 day shoot schedule and 1 to 2 pick up days which will be shot on the Canon CS300 over a month period from mid January 2013 to mid February 2013.

SYNOPSIS: The Second Coming is a dark love story about a escort who is trying to get out of the business who falls in love with a schizophrenic who thinks he is the Second Coming of Christ. It is a modern day version of the Jesus and Mary Magdelene story meets the film True Romance, which follows the heros journey but takes the viewer into the twisted minds of the characters through surreal imagery and dreamscapes.

I will be casting for the following roles:

SKATER KID, male (16-21), any ethnicity but must look like a teenager. This role requires a total of 1 shoot day and would be preferable if you can ride a skateboard but all will be considered. Speaking part.

MARY JANSA, (25-30), Female Lead, Caucasian, This role requires a 5-6 shoot day commitment. Speaking role. (no nudity but implications of nudity and a brief kissing scene, be aware I am a female director and I am a feminist)

JACK GREENBERG, (25-30), Male Lead, of Jewish ethnicity or can pass for, This role requires a 5-6 day commitment. Speaking role

FRED THE TRICK (30-50), any ethnicity, Yes this is one of Mary's clients. Must be able to play the antagonist. This role requires one shoot day. Speaking part.

MAD DONNA, (21-25), any ethnicity, International pop star. Requires two shoot days. Speaking Role.

MAD DONNA'S BODY GUARDS, (30-50) any ethnicity, Requires two shoot days. Non Speaking Roles.

TONY, (25-40), any ethnicity, small time drug dealer and petty thief. Speaking Role.

Please email which roles you would like to audition for and I will send you a side and brief character bio if relevant. Please only driven and serious actors apply we are all working hard and one bad apple can ruin a whole production.

This is a no budget production with only minimal funds to pay for food, rentals, props, and permits.
Nobody is getting paid and everyone involved is doing this because they, like myself are artists and want more experience and footage for their reel.

What I can offer is that you are well fed, respected, challenged as actors, have a beautiful piece for your reel, multiple invitations to screenings, connections with those working in the industry and some great experience for your future career as an actor.

Please feel free to view a trailer of my last film to see if this the kinda production you would like to participate in.
