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.
