Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking cast to play roles in "Boo!" film. More details are below. About the project: "Boo" is a fast-paced comedy short following two bumbling thieves on a misguided mission to steal a rare first-edition Charizard card. What should be a simple heist takes a turn for the ridiculous when they unknowingly break into a haunted house—except this ghost isn’t your typical vengeful spirit. Instead, she’s a hungover, clumsy mess recovering from a wild party the night before. As the thieves fumble through the house, they encounter eerie occurrences that are more inconvenient than terrifying—until they unknowingly awaken the supernatural forces of karma, from accidentally drinking a mysterious cup of "water" to a hilariously ill-timed spiritual awakening triggered by a glowing Jesus statue, their night spirals into chaos. When they finally come face to face with the ghost in an over-the-top slow-motion showdown, panic ensues, leading to an unforgettable (and painfully clumsy) final act. Packed with slapstick humor, absurd misunderstandings, and an unexpected dose of self-reflection, Boo blends horror tropes with comedy in a way that will leave audiences laughing—and maybe reconsidering their own late-night decisions. Rate: Non-Union. Volunteer only. You will be provided with meals and a copy of the film. Additional information: SHOOT/PERFORMANCE DATE(S) March 15, March 19, March 22. March 29 for re-shoots if needed. SHOOT/PERFORMANCE LOCATION(S) Surrey, BC. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 12, 2025. Prior acting experience is a plus but not required. The role of Thief 1 involves a staged fall as part of a comedic scene. To ensure actor safety, cushioning and padding will be provided on set. No prior stunt experience is required, but actors should be comfortable with physical comedy and light falls. Actors are encouraged to communicate any concerns or physical limitations before the shoot. When applying, please submit your head shot! Directors will then invite selected candidates to self-tape by sending you the sides.

3 roles

Thief 1Both genders18-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Overconfident and self-serving, Thief 1 considers himself the brains of the operation but often causes more problems than he solves. He’s easily distracted by greed and food, but despite his bravado, he’s just as clumsy as his partner.

Thief 2Both genders18-24 y.o.All ethnicities

The more anxious and gullible of the two, Thief 2 follows Thief 1’s lead despite knowing better. He’s prone to making small mistakes that snowball into disaster and has a surprising emotional side, especially when guilt catches up with him.

GhostBoth genders18-24 y.o.All ethnicities

A laid-back, party-loving spirit who isn’t your typical ghostly menace. She’s more concerned with nursing her hangover than haunting anyone—until the thieves disrupt her peace. Clumsy and perpetually unlucky, she unwittingly causes just as much chaos as the intruders.
