PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING!!!
I am looking to finalize my cast for my next film, BACKSTAGE.

My previous work:
Ramesses trailer: https://youtu.be/g9eYaK9uvEo
Monster trailer: https://youtu.be/hbROmXEmqCI

This film focuses on the backstage life of community theater. It will highlight the behind the scenes chaos and shenanigans that occur as this fictional theater group prepares to put on their show. It’s an ensemble cast that will be a comedy/drama.

Actors will be given a small stipend for their involvement. LOCAL HIRE ONLY. Filming will be in Middletown, DE.

What am I looking for?
HENRY: MALE. ANY ETHNICITY. AGE 50+. One of the co-stars of the production. He is a semi-functioning alcoholic but he is a necessity to the show. His personality is bigger than life to accomdate his lack of soberness.
FRANK: MALE. ANY ETHNICITY. AGE 35+ One of the co-stars of the production. He is a veteran of the stage who has been downgraded to a smaller role which infuriates him.
ROBERT: MALE. ANY ETHNICITY. AGE 20+ One of the co-stars of the production. He is a terrible actor that has been given a large demanding role due to backstage politics. As a result he feels isolated and insecure from the rest of the group who feel he is unworthy of the role.

About the Production:
This will be a 14 day shoot. Filming will be August 21 – September 3. Your character most likely will not be needed the full 14 days. It would depend on the filming schedule.

Must meet these requirements:
1. Non-Union
2. Local Hire only (filming in Middletown, DE). Must be able to travel to and from location.
3. MUST be available film during the week and weekends
4. MUST be able to film in the EARLY mornings into the late afternoon.
5. MUST have little to no conflicts. (This is a large ensemble film. It will be difficult to honor conflicts in an ensemble piece. I MIGHT be able to honor some conflicts.)

READ CAREFULLY!
