Actors Wanted for Upcoming Project
Casting actors for upcoming shoot, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A 24-year old boy, torn between escape and loyalty, leads a rambunctious sober home in a forgotten mill town—until he’s forced to face what hope truly costs. Rate: Pay, travel, lodging, meals included and negotiable. Additional info: Notes for The Boys: TRUTH TO AGE IS VERY IMPORTANT - they are rambunctious, goofball, best friends-for-life who live in a sober home. Each hides a demon behind their eyes but also carries a surprising ability to open up authentically and pull on the audience’s heartstrings. Those who feel true to Appalachia and the Rust Belt — raw, soulful, grounded, not polished or “Hollywood” - uncut, unkempt, rugged, "from the other side of the tracks" - but still have the ability to put smiles on each other's faces. Non-actors who have experience and authenticity welcome!! When applying, please include headshots, reels, resumes
6 roles
Soulful and exhausted from the life he’s battled. Drives a Harley and a pickup truck, wears a cut off and doesn’t shave. He owns the sober home and refuses to show weakness on the exterior, while on the inside his heart pounds with love to guide these boys in the proper direction no matter what. His life epitomizes the generational anguish of this community. --- Think Josh Brolin.
A sickly looking new boy who just woke up on the doorstep of the sober house. He has zero days clean and is disturbed by the images in his head when he closes his eyes. Darkness has taken hold behind his eyes, though deep down his true self longs to escape.
Baby-faced and everyone’s “little bro” who wants nothing more than to be one of the older boys. Hanging with these guys takes balls and he wears them proudly. His brash behavior is followed by a giggle. This is his first time feeling like he belongs to a family and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep it.
A real wild child who graduated with a degree in nonsense. Denver is a magnetic troublemaker. He leads the stirring of the pot while wearing a devilish smirk, though there isn't a real bad bone in his body. The group's musician is about to fearlessly move out of the sober home to go chase his dream. (Musical ability is a plus, not required for the short)
A fast talking, non stop moving son of a bitch, who’s skinny as a rail. He doesn’t have regard for proper etiquette… then again none of these boys really do. It’s not malicious, it's just how they were raised. He and Virg’s butting of the heads is their way of saying I love you as they’re partners in crime bouncing off the walls with one another.
Thinks with his soft, genuine, innocent heart first… now whether it’s the right thought is up for debate. The butt of this group's jokes and the Dumber to Fat Andy’s Dumb with a twinkle in his eye. All Virg wants in life is to always have a smile on his face, which is going to take a lot of internal work --- now, that statement goes for the whole group.
