ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking actors to play roles in "YuleMas" film. More details are below. About the project: Bria’s family can be a little quirky at Christmas time with her dad wanting to maintain some modern Christian traditions, versus his wife bringing in the pagan holiday of Yule. They love each other more than anything and their differences don’t change that. Bria, having only ever brought boyfriends home for Christmas, is feeling nervous about bringing her first girlfriend home. This relationship feels like it might be the one, but in the past her family has scared people off. The festivities are chaotic and Bria is anxious. However Jamie, Bria’s girlfriend, immediately fits right in, to Bria’s surprise. Jamie feels Bria’s discomfort and starts to wonder if it’s her family she’s embarrassed about, or her. Having to cut short a potential fight, the final Yule ceremony has begun. During the burning of the Yule log, Bria realizes that she needs to embrace her family and make her new girlfriend feel more comfortable. In a display of affection and a beautiful symbolic gesture, Bria closes the night with full participation in the ceremony and a kiss. It’s romantic as hell! Rate: Non-Union.
