Casting actors for "The Backyard" film, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: The Backyard is a “gothic” film, based on a novel written by Pupi Avati. It’s the story of a young psychopath who aspires to be a writer, and happens to fall in love at first sight, with a young nurse from the US Army. We’re in Bologna, Italy, and we’re near the Allied Liberation. All it took for this young man to fall in love, were fleeting glances with Barbara, the beautiful nurse. He thought she would be the woman of his life…the one. One year later, he finds himself at home, in a modest house in the American Midwest, with a nefarious backyard separating his house, to that of his beloved Barbara. However, she doesn’t live there anymore. The only one remaining at the residence, is her elderly mother, distraught at her daughter’s loss. With the end of the conflict in Italy, Barbara wrote a letter stating that she was to marry an Italian man, but there was no more news of her after that letter. Barbara’s sister, Arianna, crosses the ocean searching for her, but comes back pretending Barbara’s dead, and proceeds telling this to everyone. At that point, the young man begins searching for clues of the woman, until, after a dramatic spinning of events, he finds its unsuspected conclusion in Italy.
