nwe australian film being shot in perth, genuine casting call
Fri, 10 Oct 2008, 10:13 amHello Everyone
I have spoken to the casting director and this is genuine.
Producers want an exciting and NEW cast for a multi-million dollar FEATURE FILM commencing production in Perth at the end of this year.
OPEN AUDITIONS to be held October 25 and 26.
Sydney-based casting director GREG APPS (Romper Stomper, Chopper, Mission Impossible 2) will oversee WORKSHOP AUDITIONS that weekend in the hunt for the main roles for the film WASTED.
Experience NOT essential.
Lead parts still available.
Anything is possible.
The events of Wasted take place during the final years of high school, exposing the anxieties and ordeals of adolescents that can push young people to the edge – or over it.
BOYS & GIRLS BE OVER 16 LOOK 17 or 18
If you’ve got what it takes, email: wastedauditions@hotmail.com
DEADLINE FOR EMAIL AUDITION REQUESTS IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 23
NO PHONE ENQUIRIES WILL BE ANSWERED.
RISING YOUNG TALENT

I got an audition!
Mon, 27 Oct 2008, 09:18 amTurns out it was real after all.
My audition went really well. I got to WAAPA and there were about fifty (okay, maybe that's an exaggeration...) people all waiting around and having their photos taken and filling out forms.
We were called in after about twenty minutes of waiting. We entered a rehearsal studio. There were four people watching the auditions; Ben Lucas (the writer/director), Gregg Apps (casting director), Kate Bailey (assistant casting director) and the assistant director.
We warmed up and then ran around screaming in order to "loosen up", according to Greg. We then did some group coordination exercises. Following that we paired off, I went with a guy named Buster, and did some trust exercises. Then we played a game not too dissimilar to Scattegories, and THEN the real fun started!
We did improvisations in our original pairs relating to getting into a nightclub underage. Then we joined pairs into groups and did a bigger improvisation about a party gone wrong and the evidence left behind by digital technology (this one mirrored the plot - When a high school party goes dangerously off the rails, one teenager finds that revenge is just a computer click away.)
It was a great audition - no fear, no real preparation (apart from a shave for me to pass as 17!) :)
Greg said that they will be letting people know within two weeks and then Kate will be casting 30 or so extras in January. I'll keep y'all in the loop.
