ULB SHORTFILM - CASTING CALL FOR REELS
by Jeremy Cohen 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

CASTING CALL - ULB SHORT FILM - CLEVELAND Hello all. We are in the pre-production phase of a short film that, if we are able to find the right people and do this safely, will be shooting at the end of September. Right now we are just trying to have our director to look at some reels. Stay well everyone! Please read the Character Breakdowns below and send your reels to lifesearchfilm(a)gmail.com no later than Saturday 9/5 Subject: Talent Reel - ROLE (e.g. Talent Reel - OLIVIA). In the body of your email please include a link to your reel, your current availability in between 9/25 - 10/02 and what city you are based out of. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AVAIL FOR ALL DAYS THIS IS JUST OUR CURRENT PROJECTED SHOOT WINDOW. Headshots and resumes appreciated but not necessary. RATE: PAID - Rates TBD ROLES: Man (Has a look that can go from 26 to 42): He is a man consumed by thought. He dwells and ruminates on the decisions from his life often getting lost in the imaginary world that his mind has created in an effort to “keep him safe”. This role needs someone who can externalize his inner thoughts through actions and expressions i.e., the lack of confidence, despair, fear, confusion, and most importantly searching. At the same time he needs to be able to go within himself and vocalize those inner thoughts in a way that feels authentic as he speaks to himself and to the imaginary world around him. It is a complex role not for the feint of heart. This man’s search is taking him to the darkest place the mind can go, to continue living or end it to get rid of the pain. Olivia (Has a look that can span from 24 to 39): She is a woman who wants to see the best in a person. She is trusting, yet reluctant to give the honest answer afraid of the pain it might cause someone she loves. She thinks about the future, and makes plans for the next steps in life. At some points though she struggles with not being short with those around her when they are forgetful or make a mistake. She loves very deeply, but her greatest strength is lies in her resiliency to make the hard decisions. Boy (7-10 and a younger version of the Man): A boy that is going through loss, pain, and the onset of abandonment. Much of this role is the boy searching for safety. He is disappearing into the recesses of his mind to find a solace and an escape from the real world. He is hiding from the truths taking place in life. There is a moment though where he is forced to confront himself, now an adult. It will be important for these two roles to find similarities in action and tone. Mom (36-40): The mother of the Boy. It is a brief non speaking role, but holds the key to setting off every subsequent event within the story. We are looking for someone who can capture the moment where she is having to make the largest decision of her life… to leave her son and husband because she is not the mother and wife they need her to be. Dad (38-44): This is another brief non speaking role for someone who can look like the iconic father from the 1960’s. Trim, put together and guarding of his emotions, with an almost military demeanor to him.
