[NEohioPAL] MISSING - Casting

[Spencer DeVeau]

We are currently looking to cast roles for a non-paid student film produced
by students at Cleveland State University.



There are three speaking roles, character descriptions can be found below:

·         ANNABELLE (16-17)/ZABRINA (early 20s). The protagonist kidnapped
four years before the beginning of the story. Looking for an actress
willing to do a few stunts involving the character. Preferably looking for
an actress able to play both pre-kidnapped Annabelle and post-kidnapped
Zabrina. At various points, the character changes from naïve and childlike,
to internalized and obedient, to strong and resourceful, so ability to play
a wide range a plus.

·         JERRY (early/mid 20s). The antagonist, our kidnapper. Looking for
an actor willing to do a few stunts involving the character. At various
points, the character is charming, conniving, manipulative, frightening,
and violent, so the ability to play a wide range a plus.

·         JESSICA (40s). Annabelle’s mother, a small role. Demanding, with
an underlying caring streak.



We have shoot dates planned for March 21 – 22 and March 28 – 29. These are
Saturdays and Sundays. Preferably actors/actresses for Zabrina and Jerry
will be available all shoot days (as both characters are in the majority of
scenes). There is more flexibility with the role of Jessica, who is only in
two short scenes.



As a warning: This film does contain scenes of domestic abuse and violence,
as well as our protagonist who suffers from a form of Stockholm Syndrome.
If this is not something you’re are comfortable with performing, these
roles might not be for you. You are welcome to read a script and decide
whether to audition or not. We are also willing to work with potential
actors/actresses to accommodate scenes that they are worried about, to a
certain degree that will not affect the overall quality of the film we are
going for.



We are also in need of extras (2 to 3) for a scene set in a grocery store,
as well as extras for a scene set in a park. The shoot days of these scenes
have not been finalized, but if you are interested in being an extra (if
you aren’t available all shoot days or none of the speaking roles are of
interest), please let us know.



Auditions will be held: Wednesday 2/26



Callbacks will be held: Friday 2/28



Final casting decisions decided (planned date): Tuesday 3/3


If you are interested in seeing a script or auditioning, reach out to us at
missingfilmcsu at gmail.com. We are willing to plan an alternate date and time
for auditions (beforehand) to accommodate your schedule if need be.
