The Daily Bruin

A student is holding auditions for a short film. Golden Seahorse is a film about siblings, Zane and Chloe, who attend college together and struggle with their independence. With Zane’s overprotective tendencies, he pushes his sister away and has to decide whether to tell his sister the truth about their family or continue letting her live a lie.

The roles are as follows:

• Zane (Male, 26-35)
• Chloe (Female, 18-25)
• Carson (Male, 18-25)
• Emily (Female, 18-25)
• Katie (Female, 35-45)
• Linda (Female, 45-55)

Audition by appointment. For more information, contact Austin Carrero at acarrero16@georgefox.edu.

If you are planning to attend the Polar Plunge, please arrive 20 minutes early to your designated time slot. We have a tight schedule and don’t want anyone to miss out.

The activity is full at this time but if you would like to be on the waitlist, show up at Stevens for any of the time slots and we will put you on a bus if there is room. Note: if you aren’t signed up, there are no guarantees.
