The Daily Bruin

The Student Financial Services Office wants to give you and your family access to all the information you need to successfully navigate through the financial aid and student payment process. To accomplish that goal, we have established SFS News: a list of e-mail addresses to whom we send brief alerts and announcements such as SFS due dates, financial aid policy information, calendar reminders, time-sensitive alerts, and other notifications.

Don’t worry about our selling your e-mail information or “spam.” Our goal is succinct, timely and relevant communication, and you can unsubscribe without any hassles.

By the way, if you choose to not subscribe, please be aware that with the beginning of this academic year, this is the primary communication tool SFS will be using. If you choose to not participate, you may miss out on critical information.

Please forward this information onto other family members (parents, spouse. etc.) who would also like to subscribe and stay up-to-date!

The student film Pushing 80 is still in need of two remaining roles, a grandma and a main gang member, Felix. We will be shooting one short scene the weekend of Nov. 4-5, so we are in need of filling Felix’s part as soon as we can. We need to fill the Grandma’s part by the weekend of Nov. 11-13. Here is the info about the script and the character descriptions.

A car thief gang of five is raiding a small town of specific vintage cars for a car collector. They do this untraditionally by overtaking the car as its driving down the road. The gang meets its match in the form of a 65-year-old grandma in a red 1970 Corvette Chevrolet.

Felix: Felix is the ring leader of the gang who has the final say in the discussions for the gang. However, he gets his instructions from from a higher-up boss. He has been doing this for years now and is confident in his skills and in his gang’s abilities. Felix is a clean-cut 30-year-old. He is not necessarily buff, but rather uses his intelligence the most. He does all the thinking, but sometimes his anger comes out and dictates his discussions. Felix also feels that he must protect the new girl Scarlet.

Mary (Grandma): Mary is the main protagonist in the film. She is a sweet, typical 65-year-old grandma who loves her simple life but also is able-bodied and independent. She used to be a police officer in her younger days, but nobody ever sees that side of her until she is put in a situation that she needs those skills.

If interested, e-mail the producer at choffman09@georgefox.edu or call our director to set up an audition before Tuesday at 831-331-8397.
