Casting Call: Short Film
Hello there. I am looking for a few actors for a short film
I'm putting together.
My name is Levi Holwell and I'm a extremely passionate
independent filmmaker. I am 18 years old and have written and directed multiple
short films up to this point along with experience for small scale video
production work which includes producing videos for ATCO Gas and Ernst and Young.
I am putting together a 20 minute short film titled
"Run Through Me". There are 2 principal roles I'm looking to fill and
hold auditions for.
The project does not have a budget aside from what is coming
out of my back pocket so there is not a lot of money available. Basically I'm
looking for volunteer actors who are looking for a demo reel piece. I can make
the script available to anyone who is interested because I understand it's the
best indication of whether the project will be of any quality or not. Included
below is the link to the last project I completed which is a short action
comedy film I made whilst in high school. All of the actors are my friends who
were kind enough to give it their best shot!
"Run Through Me" is a very different project from
my previous work as I like to believe I am maturing and improving as a writer
and director. The goal is to make a sincere and honest romantic comedy that
captures the experience of high school relationships.
Principal Roles:
Kelsey - Female, age 18-23, intelligent, opinionated
Mark - Male, age 18-23, shy, intelligent
I would appreciate any help you can give me in helping me
fill these roles with talented people! Thanks!
