Hello

My name is Steven Probert and I am a Cleveland area video artist. I am
currently casting a young blonde hair boy (5-7) and a young girl (5-7)
for a small acting part in a video piece that I am shooting for the
Cleveland Public Theater benefit show.  This shoot is fairly short
notice but since the piece is a short (only 3-4 min finished) the time
commitment for shooting would only be 1.5-2 hours.  The shoot is
scheduled for this upcoming Thursday night, September 8th with the
call for actors at 8:30pm.  The location is a small park like backyard
adjacent to CPT on detriot rd around west 64th st. Below I have
included a description of the piece which describes what the scene
will look like and the amount of acting required by the kids.  This
shoot would be non-paying on account of an extremely low budget but
would mean alot of exposure at an event with over 700 hundred people
involved with theater and arts organizations.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  Please let me know as soon
as possible if you are interested in participating I this project as
the shoot needs to be completed by sept 15th. If you have any further
questions about the piece or the production you can contact me at
steveprobert at gmail.com or call my cell: 216-375-6004.

Thanks again,
Steven Probert

Below is a description of the video piece

Ext. Night  -  A park like backyard with a pine tree lit by pale blue
moon light.

Long pan shot w/crane (approx 2-2.5 min):=20
a pine tree's foliage fills the frame (16:9) and the camera begins to
pan/crane down from the top of the tree.  The shot gradually pulls out
to a wider view and the base of the pine tree can be seen.  Through
the foliage a young blonde haired boy is peering out from the
branches, he is looking directly at the camera.  The shot then zooms
in closer on the boy.

Cut to long wide shot (approx 1 min):=20
The pine tree is still in the frame but the camera has been
repositioned to allow the viewer to see a small red shed with white
trim nestled next to the pine tree.  The young boy from behind the
pine tree is now standing in front of the camera with his back turned.
The shed is filled with gardening equipment and is lit by a dim
fluorescent light.  A young girl is standing in the doorway of the
shed with her back to the camera and she appears to be fidgeting with
something.  The young boy begins to very slowly walk towards the girl
as the camera follows.  She doesn't seem to notice his presence.
