Actors needed for short film - in a few dyas

We are shooting a short comedy film in the next week and require some actors on this rather short-notice basis.
Short as in a couple of minutes, for a film festival.
But only if you live in or close to Melbourne & can make it possibly sometime this weekend for 3-4 hours.


We require 2 x females around 18-22 (or look as such).
And 2 x males (to look 20-ish & 40)

The setting is basically the Australian Open tennis. One of the girls will be the winner & the other the loser. So they have to have some resemblance to a Sharapova (longish straggly hair, thin!! or have hair pieces)
The 40-ish (or pass for) actor is to play a loud John MacEnroe-type commentator doing an interview with the girls.
The younger male with be a Lleyton Hewitt type.
We're not looking for lookalikes but rather actors who can express the character-style of these types.

Importantly, this gig pays zero and will require a half-day or less of time.
Will be shot on miniDV (Panasonic gs400) around the Melbourne eastern suburbs on a date between February 5th,6th or 7th. So we don't have too much time.
And on wardrobe, girls will be required to have something that would pass for a tennis outfit (no playing or knowledge of tennis required), males likewise, but as commentator-types (we know Hewitt is not a commentator but he is in this).
Thanks to all who may be interested. Look forward to hearing from you asap.

Please email with a photo preferably. And if you are enquiring about the 'Sharapova' role, the you will need to have a Eastern_European accent, or an American accent for the MacEnroe character.
For Hewitt, you just need to be loud, but talently so.

Email me urgenttly: dreemtrax@yahoo.com.au

Cheers
