Acting Job in "Purple Ink" Short Film

Casting Call Short Film for "Purple Ink", please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: The film tells the story of Chase, a teenager with undiagnosed juvenile arthritis, who makes an unlikely friendship with Daren, an old man, during his time at physical therapy. It is a hopeful story that explores friendship, the acceptance of one's body, and aims to shed light on the disabled youth community, especially those with invisible disabilities that may go undiagnosed or untreated for many years. I grew up with the disease, which greatly limited my mobility and quality of life. Over 300k kids in the US today have a rheumatoid disability, with a large number of them going undiagnosed and untreated. I hope that this film will help destigmatize and bring awareness to what youth disabilities can look like. Rate: Union + Non-Union. UNPAID. Actors will receive 3 on-set meals and will be compensated for travel and housing.
