Casting Call for "Exor-Fist" Film
Casting actors for "Exor-Fist" film. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: When an average family is brought to its knees after a young girl's dad is possessed, Father Max steps in to do his job, using the secret technique of a long-lost order of the Roman Catholic Church — the Exor-Fist. Exor-Fist is an action-horror film with a sprinkling of dark comedy, following the exploits of Father Max, a priest who, quite frankly, has no business being a priest. Despite his love for communion wine, his attempts to win over the affection of nuns, and his inclination to use violence first, forgive second, Father Max remains one of the most useful assets of the church as one of the last, and best Exor-Fists. Using gadgets akin to what you find in a Catholic Bat Cave, and a mix of martial arts learned from years of careful training, Father Max disposes of the world's demonic evils through some good old-fashioned fist fighting. Rate: Non-paid. Crafty and meals provided. Additional info: Non-union. Student production. Shoot dates: June 27th and 28th. Shoot location: Vancouver. Submission deadline: Saturday, May 23, 2026.
