Looking for a male and female actor between the ages of 22-40. Paid work
Mon, 13 Apr 2009, 10:49 amHi all,
I am currently in my HSC year, am making a short film for the 'Drama' subject. I have already written up a script and it has been well approved by a licensed and highly experienced Drama teacher. Before I go any further, I live in the Kellyville area, in Sydney. Just for those who are interested.
Included below is basically a synopsis of/some info about my video:
*It will run for roughly 7-8 mins, and I plan to enter it in some short film competitions if it works out well. I will be filming, most likely, over 3 days, and if you're interested, please contact me and we'll get in touch about when that could take place.
Plot:
Jason Peck is a returned Vietnam War soldier, who was conscripted in the mid-60's. He comes back home, a very different man, as he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My video focuses primarily on how he relates, mainly to his wife, but also to living back in civilisation. He has a number of flashbacks which articulate to the viewer some of the reasons why he has returned so afflicted by the trauma of war. It's found out that he accidentally shot one of his fellow troops, and that memory constantly haunts him. Later on, it is revealed that he contracted cancer as a result of the defoliant used in Vietnam combat. The film ends with Jason dying, but in a subtle and intellectual way that evokes emotion from the viewer.
Actors:
I'm looking for an actor who would like to play the main character, who would be passionate/committed to the role. I'm also looking for a female actor to play the wife. I'm very willing to pay expenses or any other payments within reason. This isn't a high budget film, but i will put in the money needed to make it decent enough for entry into a short film competition.
Thanks so much for your time, I realise that many of you are experienced actors, and that's why, if possible, I'd very much like to work with you. Please e-mail me ASAP if you are at all interested and we'll work some things out. :)
