Newport News, VA, United States
ID: 303330Exp: 2/28/2026
Description:

Casting actors for "The Silent Crisis" movie. Please find the details listed below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Synopsis: When 17-year-old Elijah Brooks goes missing, his family is met with silence—from the media, from law enforcement, and from a system that too often ignores Black and brown children. As his parents fight to uncover the truth, their grief turns into a powerful demand for justice, exposing the heartbreaking disparities in whose stories get told… and whose don’t. The Silent Crisis is a raw, emotional film that honors the unheard and refuses to let them be forgotten. Additional info: Audition materials and character sides will be released in 2026 to registered applicants. Filming late 2026/early 2027. See the details attached. To be considered, please apply.
