Black Lens Cinema is currently working with a film collective to shoot five 1-minute short films. We will be casting for approximately 15 roles for an upcoming production. We are looking to shoot the short films during a weekend in January.
Non-union, volunteer actors/actresses are needed. These will be 1-minute films that will be immediately released online. One full day of shooting on 01/21 and 01/22. The location is TBD but will be in the area of Montgomery County, PA (Philadelphia Suburbs).
Volunteer only, with IMDb and on-screen credit provided. There will be food on set. Actors will receive a copy of the final product for their reels.
