Description:

Looking for several volunteers to participate in our short film project for the Nikon Film Festival. We are two film students working on a short film about the theme of beauty. The script has already been written. Shooting Dates: November 21–23 in New York City (exact hours TBD). The film includes both indoor and outdoor scenes. This is a non-union, unpaid project. If you’re interested in participating, please send me a private message with the following: • Headshot / Photos / Videos • Cover Letter / Resume A candidate attends a casting call. She is asked a question: What is beauty? This question obsesses her, but she is at a loss for words. Between erasures and questioning, her night slips away, but she still has no answer. Frustrated, the candidate returns to the casting room where it all began. The judges, surprised to see her again, finally deliberate, and the young woman already sees her dream coming true.
