We are looking for 2 male actors. We are FilmFreedom Productions. My name is Carson Coombs & I am partnering with my friend, Jordan Meeker, to put on a short series entitled, ‘Elements with Four: The Search’. What is the series about? This show is about 4 teenagers. They all have different 'powers' and got them because of their past. Something happened to each of them, but they don't know what it is, they just know what their power is. They all meet each other and figure out they aren't alone, there are others that are in the same situation. Throughout the series, they try to figure out what happened to them to get their powers. Who are you looking to cast? oledius- (water) power is: speaking to the water & turns into a fish when touching water (male, age range 13-17, must look 16) & kai- (earth) power is: can connect with the earth and can make minerals & gems out of anything (male, age range 14-17, must look 16) Who are you guys?
