CASTING CALL for CSU Student Thesis Film: *The Bicycle Man*


*Title*: The Bicycle Man

supposedly discovered the key to body switching, a suicidal call center

*Grandpa Lenny* (SUPPORTING): Late 60s-70s, Male, African-American

A subtly eclectic elder and Duncan’s grandfather. He was a botanist in his
glory days and now suffers from Alzheimer's.


Grandpa Lenny is Duncan’s grandfather. He’s lived a long and full life,
compacted with memories that he’d tell his family over dinner. Lenny
suffers from Alzheimer’s and so those memories are now more sparse. His
mind is deteriorating, but his philosophies have remained unchanged. In the
eyes of Grandpa Lenny, you should do what you want to do. If something is
bringing you turmoil rather than comfort, why don’t you leave it behind?
What good does moaning and groaning do? He loves Duncan more than anything,
but he finds his negative point of view tiring and overdone.

“I’m doing badly, I’m doing well; whichever you prefer.” - F. Kafka


Required Shoot Dates: March 25th & March 26th


Compensation will be received in the form of food on set and a copy of the
finished film.
