Hello all, Travis Bain, the writer/director of the 2005 feature film "Scratched" (digiSPAA 2005 finalist) is now making his second feature film, "Throwback." "Throwback" is a horror film running about 90 minutes and will be shot on HD and aimed at the international horror market a la "Wolf Creek." We are looking for actors, preferably with screen experience, for the following roles: * Justin, late 20s, a cocky rich boy, Luke Skywalker-ish. This is one of four major roles so we need someone who can play arrogant but with a happy-go-lucky, flirtatious streak, someone reasonably good-looking with an athletic build. * Siegfried: a European backpacker in his 20s, preferably blond. Must be able to do a realistic German or Swedish accent or similar. * Brunhilde: Siegfried's uninhibted, carefree girlfriend, also preferably blonde and must be able to deliver a realistic European accent. Also please be aware that this role requires a topless scene, so if you are not prepared to do partial nudity, please do not bother applying for this role. * Male, 20s or 30s to play Irish bushranger. Must be pale-skinned and be able to deliver a realistic Irish accent. * Male, 20s or 30s to play another Irish bushranger, this one more stocky and heavy-set than the other bushranger. Again, pale skin and a convincing Irish accent are imperative. * Female, middle-aged (about 50-something), slim build to play a terminal cancer victim. The sllim build is our most important requirement here as we need our character to look gaunt and drawn. If you are interested in auditioning for any of these roles, please email your headshots and CVs to travisbain@hotmail.com If you do not fit the above criteria but feel like sending your information "just in case" we have other roles available, please do not bother. These are the ONLY roles we have available and there will be no call for extras on this film. We will simply not consider you if you do not fit the above criteria. Auditions will be held over the coming weeks in Brisbane so if we feel that your photos and CVs show promise, we will contact you to invite you to the auditions. We look forward to hearing from any actors who would like to try out for this exciting new independent feature film opportunity. Regards, Travis Bain Writer/Producer/Director, "Throwback"

casting for throwback.

may be i'm too late. have you cast yet? i'm interested in the part of the fifty-ish woman. I'm forty eight and have just finnished a BA in performance and I'm looking for work. I'm English but can do accents. I'm working with a voice coach at the moment to get my australian accent right. I've just had head shot's done last week and hoping to get them on my agents web site. If your still casting let me know. i'm pretty slim but not skinney. How terminal is your patient, months weeks or days to live? It would be good to hear from you. thanks Jo
