Casting Call: Post-Western Noir Short--NON UNION

topic posted Mon, September 11, 2006 - 5:13 PM by  Mark
Seeking the two leads for a a dimestore paperback come to life about two marginalized strangers who meet at a remote roadside motel and find that they both have their dark secrets which may spell the other's doom.

DALE: The handsomely grizzled & chiseled, weathered & leathery cowboy, with a croak of a voice that sounds like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car. (Apologies to Gary Graff.) 40somethingish

AUDREY: The femme fatale. Eccentric (some may say crazy), sensuous and alluring, with curves that could knock a 12 year old boy off his bike. 20somethingish

Authentic or credible southern accents preferred, though by no means required.

Auditions in Berkeley later this month, and shooting/rehearsals should take a few days next month. Exact dates are TBD.

Shot in HD with festival ambitions (our previous work has had its share of festival exposure), with an experienced crew that have logged many hours together and are still great friends and create an easygoing atmosphere on set. We're really seeking folks who are looking to make something of quality, and are interested in being involved in the long term success of the project, rather than just another notch on their proverbial bedpost/pistol.

In addition to CC&M, we'll cover basic travel expenses and put together a demo reel for you, and if you already have one, we'll update it.

If this all sounds like something you might be a match for, please send me a message, and I'll provide an email address where you can send your headshot, resume, website, and/or reel (a BIG plus).

Best,
Mark
