We are looking for actors/actresses who would be interested in auditioning for roles in the upcoming thesis film, “The Bagel” directed by Byron Ruf.
We will be shooting January 29-30 and February 5-6, 2022, and are asking for 12 hours of availability throughout the day with covered transportation costs and meals provided. Filming will take place at a hotel location in Cranbury, New Jersey.
Story synopsis: A comedy short film about a group of five high school debate team students who accidently hit their teacher in the head with a bagel. How will they get away with this?
JACK: (17-19) Cocky, outgoing, and selfish. He projects a happy go-lucky persona, but deep down is insecure. He has a massive crush on Eve.
DAN: (17-19) Reserved; talks smack about you in his head. He’s a closeted gay who puts his trust in Jack.
EVE: (17-19) Confident, blunt. Manages to be friends with everyone. She does not like Jack as more than friends.
PERCY: (17-19) Snobby, teacher’s pet. He would rather study than hang out with the others.
CLARA: (17-19) Shy, unconfident. She feels as if Eve steals everything from her because Eve’s perfect. She likes Dan.
MR. WATSON: (40-50) Doesn’t tolerate B.S.; A straight to the point kind of guy. He wants to make sure this field trip goes as smoothly as possible because the students are his responsibility.
