The Daily Bruin

Our movie, Worth It!, is in need of a lead male actor. There are only two words in the whole movie, so don’t worry too much about dialogue. It’s an unpaid gig with minimal shooting, but you will be fed.

The shoot will be done the weekend of Oct 15. Audtions for the movie will be held this Thursday, Sept. 22, at 5 p.m. in the Media Center on campus. Resumes are not required, just headshots. If you have acting experience, make sure to include it in the e-mail.

The film is Charlie Chaplin-esque. Actor should be very animated and look between 20 and 35. If interested or if you have questions, e-mail Mac Oxford at moxford09@georgefox.edu.

On Monday, Sept. 19, Marcella Gowan (Nursing) will speak on the issue of maternal mortality in the Majority World. Marcella served as a missionary nurse-midwife for 20 years and has teaching experience in many countries.

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.
