[PAID] Casting Call for CWRU Student Film
by Ify Chidi 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Hi, I am producing a short student film at Case Western Reserve University, filming April 11-13th. The project is funded by Studio300, our on-campus filmmaking club, and covers all costs for food and equipment. The roles are non-union, both actors will be *compensated $150* for the three days of work, and* food will be provided*. We are looking for two actors to fill the following roles: The Fortune Teller (Witch): A fabulous middle-aged woman with a seemingly endless past. She cares deeply but does not trust easily. Mystifying, puzzling, perhaps omniscient, she knows better. Is she magic? Maybe. She surely believes she is. And that the rest of the world is too. The Lawyer (Young Female): Incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, and stubborn, this woman believes herself to be the perfect fit for her profession. This case has made her question that belief. She does not believe in superstitions, let alone magic, but she does believe in being open-minded. She cares just as deeply as the witch does and is just as curious. She is still young and has much to learn. We will be holding auditions this Sunday (3/23) from 10 AM to 12 PM in the basement of the Thwing Center on CWRU campus (11111 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106). Self tapes are accepted but must be submitted by Sunday morning. If you have any questions, reach out to mxf544(a)case.edu and zne2(a)case.edu. If you're interested, email your name, gender, age, a picture or headshot, and optional resume, as well as your self-tape (if that is your preference) to zne2(a)case.edu. If you'd like a copy of the script or more information about the production, feel free to email as well. If brought onto the project, you are required to be available for the entirety of the shoot dates. We hope to see you at our auditions, Moses Fleischman
