Audition Notice: Short Film - Union

Casting Call for dramatic, narrative short film, to be shot over November long weekend (November 11-13). 

This is an ACTRA resume agreement project, with deferred payment.

Trigger: Strong subject matter, including racism, death, and frightening scenes.

 

Genre: Drama (under 15 minutes)

 

Title: Hats

 

Logline: A man comes to term with the sins of his past at his granddaughter’s birthday party.

 

Note: Strong improv skills are a must.

 

Tatum: Mixed-race (Black/Caucasian). Female. 7-9. A feisty yet innocent spitfire, she’s an old soul in a tiny body who can hold her own and then some. Too young to know the horrors of the world, Tatum lives her life with open and accepting arms, and a zest for fun that can only come from childhood innocence. SUPPORTING ROLE, 3 shooting days, 1 prep day.

 

Jacob: Black. Male. 30s. Tatum’s father. A suave, charismatic and successful family man with a strong moral compass. Jacob has very little tolerance for people who don’t, in his mind at least, deserve redemption. SUPPORTING ROLE. 3 shooting days, 1 prep day.

Deadline to submit: Friday, October 28th at 6 PM.
