Actors needed for "The Western Writer" student film. Please find more details provided below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Ross, a struggling screenwriter, faces a blank page late at night. As he begins to write, his characters come to life: Jesse, a soft-spoken drifter, and Silas, a smooth-talking villain bent on taking over a Western town.
