Projects will be filmed within the next 1-3 weeks.

Please include your resume and headshot if available.

PROJECT 1 – Sasha Krioutchkova

“I Thought You Were a… [insert label here]” is a short stylized film about heartbreak as catalyst in the human struggle to break free. Which is a fancy way of saying: please check out http://krioutchkova.tumblr.com/ for details, and contact sashak_ask@hotmail.com with questions.

I’m looking for two actors/dancers of two different genders. It is important for the performers to have experience in both realms, as there will be lots of playing with movement and imagined spaces (e.g. leaning on an invisible wall, expressing emotion through dance, etc.) in addition to standard narrative acting.

Please come ready to cold-play with the words and motions that will be described in the script. Resume and headshot are recommended.

PROJECT 2 – Matt McKinney

Just Say It.
Project consists of a number of short comical and dramatic scenes depicting various ‘coming out’ situations. A strong focus on the idea that ‘coming out’ doesn’t happen just once, but occurs daily. 
Looking for male and female actors of all ages.
Audition will consist of a cold-read and/or a contemporary monologue if you have one.

Matthew McKinney is a Calgary based actor and video-artist. He owns 2150 Creative, a small video production company. For more information visit:
