Live-Action Roles (3)

Minerva Hiller (18-25, Female, Lead):
The overall main character and Dhelsea’s best friend. Having issues with both family and college, she decides to leave the state for an undetermined amount of time to figure out what she wants to do next. This decision to leave, holds drastic effects on Dhelsea and Minerva must now work to save it before leaving.

Dhelsea (18-25, Female, Lead):
The secondary main character and Minerva’s best friend. Having grown a large following on social media, the film also follows her mind as she tries to deconstruct the meaning of Minerva’s leave while dealing with the hate she gets through social media.

A minor supporting character and Dhelsea’s assistant. He appears throughout the film as a background character and running gag until his prevalent role in the last scene.

Voice-Over Roles (2)

Young Minerva (18+, Female, Supporting):
This is the 8 year-old version of Minerva that is heard in the opening flashback sequence. She’s scared of the dark, the world, and what it means to be a friend in this dark world. We are looking for an actor or voice actor to mimic the child-like voices and responses of someone around this age range.

Young Dhelsea (18+, Female, Supporting):
This is the 8 year-old version of Dhelsea that is heard in the opening flashback sequence. She is fearless, and is evident in making newfound friend Minerva just as fearless. We are looking for an actor or voice actor to mimic the child-like voices and responses of someone around this age range.

Auditions can be sent in via self-tapes by Sunday, November 19 to thesmallclassicscollection@gmail.com.

The most important thing to note about this film is that this will be taking place at the Blueberry Hill Conservation Trail, over in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. It’s such a beautiful path, but it’s also going to be a long hike and a lot of walking for the cast and crew to go from location to location. Although we still plan on getting filming done in a relatively short amount of time, if this will be an issue for you or you would like to go location scouting to become familiar with the setting then let me know as soon as possible!

Plans to shoot on the weekend of November 24 to November 27 at Blueberry Hill in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. Meals and transportation will be provided, with possible dinner at the nearest Applebee’s.
