[NEohioPAL] Updated Casting Call for 16mm Short Film

[Sian Wright]

Hello!
I am a student filmmaker looking for actors for a ten minute short 16mm film
to be shot on the weekend of February 27th, 2009.  I have posted previously,
however there have been some slight adjustments to the amount of actors
needed, regarding the lead character. This is a dramatic short focusing on
the damage family relationships can cause over the course of a young man's
life.  Actors and parts detailed as follows:

LEAD:  Tom is a man who has repressed his anger at his father's distance,
with a tragic result.
           Tom 1 -  Twenty five to Thirty-five year old white male.   The
actor will be needed in four- five scenes, each with dialogue.
           Tom 2 - Age seventeen through twenty five.  This actor will be
needed for three scenes, two with medium dialogue and one with no dialogue.
           Tom 3- Age twelve through fourteen white male. This actor will be
in three scenes; one with no dialogue, the other two with a medium amount of
                       dialogue.
            Tom 4 -Age eight through twelve white male.  This actor will
have minimal dialogue in two scenes.

SUPPORTING:  Jack- Late Thirties to Sixty year old white male.  Jack is an
emotionally unavailable man who pays little attention to his family.  The
actor will be in about three quarters of the scenes, with minimal dialogue.
The actor will have to play the part in a range of ages.  The actor will
have to use clothing changes, makeup and temporary hair dye to achieve the
aging effects needed.

SUPPORTING:  Lucinda - Thirty-Five to Fifty year old white female.  Lucinda
is a relatively unhappy mother and housewife who hides beneath a thick
veneer of fake good cheer.  The actor will be in several scenes.  The actor
will have to play the part in a range of ages.  The actor will have to use
clothing changes, makeup and temporary hair dye to acheive the aging effects
needed.

SUPPORTING:  Emily (older) - Twenty-Five to Thirty-Five year old white
female.  Emily is a sympathetic character, but one who long ago realized
that her happiness lay outside the family.  The part is in one scene, with
minimal dialogue.

SUPPORTING:  Emily (Teenage) - Sixteen to Twenty-Five year old white
female.  Emily is a sympathetic character, but harbors no illusions about
her family.  She is concerned about Tom, but very much has her own life.
She will be in two scenes, one with a large amount of dialouge.


All actors will get a copy for their reel and credit on the film and
notification of any festivals or theaters that the film will play in..
