Actors Required for Upcoming Project
Actors needed for a project. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: Once in a lifetime opportunity to work with and be seen by not only the new, hand selected, up and coming directors participating in the lab, but the very well known, highly established, award winning directors who will be mentoring the directors. These mentors will be recognizable. Do not have access to the mentors list for this year, but they are of the caliber and could potentially be the likes of Christoper Nolan, Stephen Spielberg, Robert Redford, etc. Rate: $25 travel stipend. Additional info: Directors will need about 12 actors for the first round, known as the Osso Bucco round. The actors will be provided a very small gas stipend. Please only apply your most experienced and best actors. There is a second round. Not all talent will be requested for that round, but some may be. These talent will not only be working with the directors and the mentors, but also some named actors as well. Please note: talent will not be provided any footage from the experience. The talent directors will be looking for must be very experienced. Preferably with at least some theatre background. They are looking for your top talent for this. Two very key things to keep in mind: 1) Talent must have extensive knowledge of set etiquette. They are not to offer suggestions or advice to the directors in any way at any time. They are to take direction, know their lines and be on time. 2) Talent must be capable of being on set with very known directors and actors without causing disruption. They are not to take photos or selfies, seek advice or force a connection. They must be able to keep their cool. When applying, please include headshot/photo & resume for self tape instructions.
3 roles
80s: Joelle’s impeccable taste, as much as her natural beauty, won her most of what she has in life: She immigrated to France from Algeria at 11 (when she thought she was just leaving for summer vacation) and decided that the key to success would be to become Frencher than the Parisians, which resulted in an aristocratic marriage that represented the stability her parents never had. Her love for her daughters often manifests as anxious criticism.
Clara is Alex’s mother. She was born and raised in Mexico and immigrated alongside her husband, Joel in her twenties. She is an astute, but radiant woman who takes pride in her role as a homemaker. Note: Leo would love to find someone who is fluent in Spanish, but he is pretty specific in terms of what he's looking for in the dialect/accent (which he knows he needs to potentially let go of for the Lab.) Depending on who you find he is also open to shooting the scene in English.
British-African. Think Tosin Cole. Core Traits: Smooth, confident, and has a charm about him that is very magnetizing. Exudes swagger & is a lady’s man, but doesn’t abuse it - he’s a lover boy at heart. Kind-hearted but cool. Easy-going & easy to be around, someone you feel like you’ve known forever, immediately. Jojo is from East London & is known for his ambitious spirit. He grew up with his best friend, Emmanuel, but their dynamic shifted when Emmanuel rose to fame in their early twenties.
