Actors Wanted for Short Film (The Reckoning)

Darren17 posts in thread
I am currenlty seeking three male actors to play major roles in a short film titled "The Reckoning". This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience (unpaid , well maybe a pint or two) in a short sharply written urban tale.

It's a dark comedic gangster piece and the following characters need life.

Trafford: 20-30 yrs old
Jack: 20-30 yrs old ( a British accent would be desirable but not necessary)
Garcia: 30-50 yrs old

a few extras are also required to play henchmen ( basically tall and stocky/musculer).

We are looking to begin shooting in early-mid May and all interested parties should contact myself on the following.

1.DSPashen@yahoo.com.au
2.Ph. 08 9317 1474
I'll send a script via e-mail for all concerned.

Re: Actors Wanted for Short Film (The Reckoning)

Hey man! A gangster film is cool! I am intersted but I dont have a british accent sorry! But Im still intrested. I am 19 years old and was part of the Black Swans theatre company BSX theatres production of Antigone last year which was directed by Peter Kingston the former head of directing and acting. This year I was an extra in the Australian movie 'Thunderstruck' which comes out in cinemas internationally next year in January. Now I just want to get into acting full time since that's what I love and want to make a living out of and hopefully have a good career in the future. So this would probably be another great experience. I would like to take look at the script and would need to when exactly you are going to be filming because I have to know if Im going to have time because I have an audition to prepare to and some other things! You can also contact me on 0404217695 or 0403490887!

Re: Time Traveller?

Hi Jamar

I know it's confusing how our dates in Australia are arranged differently to yours in the US...

16-04-03 means April 16th, 2003 (when the audition notice was posted.) The shoot happened last May.


Also, you would have needed to arrive for the audition in Perth, Western Australia, which is about 17,061 km (10,601 miles) from Houston TX.


Cheers,
Craig

Re: Time Traveller?

Jamar, I mean this in a friendly and not a condescending way - ok, maybe in a friendly condescending way - but I can't help but think that the name of this website 'Theatre Australia' may have given some hint that the auditions were a fair way from Houston.

Also, Mr Williams, "'about' 17,061 km (10,601 miles) from Houston TX".
'About'? You have way too much free time on your hands:-)
