Actors needed for student film
We are in need of six actors (of high-school looking age) for a 25-minute short student film.
The synopsis: Push the bully holds cruel dominion over the school, earning his respect through fear and deprecation. When new kid John Williams enters the school and challenges his sovereignty, Push must fight to retain not only his power, but also his very identity.
The six roles we are searching for are:
- Push the bully is not short, nor is he tall. With his smile he could get away with murder.
- Eugene Kraft is Push’s righthand man. Eugene is afraid of Push, and loves seeing Push bully anybody beside himself.
- John Williams is a prince. A hero. He is well-read, well-bred, and well traveled. He is tall with blond hair and steely blue eyes.
- Frank is one of Push’s favorite victims. Frank is overweight. And he has a lisp.
- Slud is another of Push’s favorite victims. Slud has a disability that requires the use of forearm crutches.
- Clob, another of Push’s favorites, looks radioactive. Clob has acne and is ugly under his acne.
We also need some giggling high school girls who have crushes on Williams the new kid, and also someone to play a very short role of a maid/mother, and possibly a damsel in distress.
This is a non-paying gig, but we will provide meals during long shoot days, a DVD of the film will be provided when its done, and also great seats at the premiere.
We are planning on shooting the weekends of Feb. 10-12, 17-19 and 24-26. Auditions are this Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26-27, at the Portland Center near Tigard at 7 p.m.
