The short film Beautiful, a story about discovering one’s unique beauty as a woman of God, is having auditions this Saturday, Sept. 17, at 3 p.m. in the university’s Media Center on the Newberg campus. It is a statement video about expressing beauty as a woman and not being afraid of it or just copying what the media portrays as beautiful.

Two roles are being cast:

• A young woman (18-26 years old) who is very conservative in the ways she expresses her beauty and tends to go unnoticed in large crowds and tries to be invisible.
• A second young woman (18-26 years old) who is very elaborate and flashy in the ways she expresses her beauty and tends to be judged in the Christian community because of what she wears.

Shooting will be conducted the weekend of Oct. 7-9 in Newberg. There is no pay, but meals will be provided during the shoot, a DVD copy will be given after completed, and a great seat at our premiere will be reserved for you.

If interested, please show up between 3 and 4 p.m. at the Media Center. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail the producer, Carissa Hoffman, at choffman09@georgefox.edu.
