Actor for Experimental Feature Film

Title: Aspiring Actor for Experimental Feature Film

Please note that all cast and crew positions are strictly volunteer for this production.

Looking for several serious-minded actors for lead roles in an experimental feature film. This is set to be a ultra-low budget production. Cast and crew must be non-union. Our intention is to create a relatable story with a unique goal: We will not be looking for theatrical release or distribution deals when the film is complete–We’re going straight to social media. Since there’s no pay and no red carpet premiere, this gig is probably a better match for someone who’s either just starting out– or who simply misses being on-set during COVID and wants to be in a creative environment. We do intend to list the film on IMDb and credit the cast and crew.

The plan is to go straight to social media and release our story in episodes. Our focus is to get our story out there and showcase our actors’ talents. While there will be auditions and we’ll be choosing the best actors who submit– we will NOT be making our selections based on who you know, your experience or IMDb Starmeter status. If you’re local and you’ve got the aspirations and potential, you could be one of our actors.

Our story: ‘Unrequited’ spans 120+ years. Each of the three lead actors will play five unique characters– one in each time period. Our story begins in the late 1800’s and continues moving through generations of several families during the Roaring 20’s, the 60’s, the dawn of the 90’s and finally, current day, 2022.

We are currently casting for:

The lead Male Actor plays five different parts– with four of the five characters being hardworking stableboy/farmhand and groundskeeper type roles, working on the estates of families of wealth and privilege. Across the generations, the girl he sets his sights on is out of his league– and much like Katherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, his longings and feelings go unnoticed. In current day, however, roles are reversed and things have changed for everyone in a significant way.

Physical: 35-48, appears late 30s to mid/late 40s– A little scruffy, 5’9 to 6′ would be ideal. Strong, stocky build preferred, but NOT body-builder type. No visible tattoos on neck, hands or arms. Complexion: tan, olive skin/Mediterranean or similar would be ideal, but would consider pale.
