Want to act in a comedic short film that will likely be seen at this year’s Fox Film Festival? “Adventures in Matchmaking” is a lighthearted short film that combines themes of misadventure, friendship and the often-hilarious situations that arise out of trying to play matchmaker.

Auditions for the film are scheduled for noon Saturday, Oct. 31, in the Media Center. The cast time commitment would be an initial read through and orientation meeting, as well as one to two weekends of filming (starting within the next two weeks). No previous acting experience is required to audition.

In preparation for auditions, contact Elizabeth Wallace (producer) at ewallace07@georgefox.edu to obtain a copy of the script. Those interested also need to print out a schedule (for the next month) and list any Friday, Saturday or Sunday conflicts.

We hope to see you there!
