Audition Call for "Crossfaded," a Cleveland State University Thesis Film. Target Shoot Dates: February 28th - March 2nd & March 7th - March 9th, 2025 (Two Weekends / 6 Days) Logline: When a jaded weed-pedaling stoner in his senior year of college and a benevolent socially drinking freshman fraternity pledge are locked in the basement of a frat party, the two strangers cogitate exploring each other's worlds for the first time in their lives. It’s a coming of age story that impels two different backgrounds of human beings to recognize each other beyond the archetypes that they see. Looking to cast two male actors. Given the nature of the film pertaining to drugs and alcohol, we ask that only +18 submit for the roles. - Malcolm - A cynical, weed-pedaling, loner in his senior year of college. - Ethnicity: Black / African Descent - Remy - An altruistic, socially awkward, freshman fraternity pledge. - Ethnicity: Open to any THINGS TO CONSIDER*** : The script contains moments of actors handling MARIJUANA, ALCOHOL, and a live REGAL JUMPING SPIDER. (Yes, a living spider!) “For this project, I’ve adopted and have been taking care of a little spider. To be honest, I used to be afraid of spiders, but for the art and this project, it’s a commitment to growth. Actors will also be welcomed and encouraged to observe the spider/rehearse, in person, before the intended shoot date.” - Jeffrey Rucker / The Director Actors will not be paid for the performance. However, meals will be provided on shooting days, actors will receive copies of their footage, and we’ll do our best to help with gas or rides. Filming will take place in or around Cleveland, Ohio.
