| Student Film: 'Reversed Chaos'
We are a team of student film makers looking for two young female actors to take part in our final major project. We are looking for:
Female aged 5 – 10 slight build
Female aged 10 -15 slight build
The Film is called “Reversed Chaos” and explores the hidden emotions behind a face in the crowd; a life lived through torment and tears. Memories drawn from real experiences, the audience are taken into the complex mind of lead character Jessica Fitzgerald. It is a survival story of how a triumph over pain, loss and despair doesn’t erase memories. Reversed Chaos plots a simple day, with flashbacks from a tortured past continuously brought into play. The paths of life often appear simple to those who don’t really look, the same people that judge because they know not what they set their eyes upon.
Auditions will be taking place next week from Wednesday 6th April through to Friday 8th In Carlisle Cumbria.
Shooting on DV format, the film will be commencing April 17th for approx 2weeks; however the young actors will only be required for a maximum of 2days.
As it is a student film, we are self funded which will mean unpaid acting, although expenses for travel and lunch will be provided to successful applicants and everyone involved will receive a copy of the film on DVD
Anyone interested please send your Photo, CV and Showreel (if possible) to:

Short Film, non equity part for the film 'FETCH!'
We are a student production, looking for a young, white male from the ages of 6-9. He will be the central character, and be on camera almost 100% way through the film, so experience and good acting is required. The coming of age story is about 'Dermot' and his love for dogs, so experience and comfort with dogs will also be required. A mother/father as a chaperone is also important, and we are casting the mother and father roles for the film, so willing actors along with their children would be great.
An exciting, innovative film can later be used for showreels for the young actor, but the adults are largely required for voice over and body shots in a 'Charlie Brown' style film.
Expenses will be provided, as well as food for all actors.
Please contact me on woof_productions@yahoo.co.uk, and we can discuss the casting further, which will begin shooting on 21.03.2005, with some rehearsal time necessary prior to actual filming.
Many thanks! |

Short Student Film: 'The Lost Prodigy' Open Call
2 Boys aged 9-13 needed.
SYNOPSIS: After a long jail sentence, ISA is released from the detention centre and returns home to the council estate. However, the reception of his conservative and religious mother is not welcoming. With bills to pay and debts to clear, ISA decides to do what he can to help her out amidst the violence steaming from the council estate, the stigma of being a former criminal and trying to win back affection from his mother.What follows is a story for affection and of complication, which ends on a unexpected note…

Character Name: RUBEN: Attributes: Age: 9 – 13 Gender: Male/ Built: Any/ Ethnicity: Caucasian - English/ Voice modulation: No concern (high pitched or broken)
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS FILM?I understand that performing in a student film doesn’t offer the same exposure as a film feature or TV work. However it can help to open doors and presents a chance to create and/or begin a portfolio or showreel from this film. It also can offer you the chance of participating in an alternative, motivating and attractive work that would be challenging for an actor. The acting process for this film will offer a chance for you to have some feedback into the final development of the script (to suit the needs of the character you are to act as).
We are hoping to film around the time of March/April and dates of shoot will vary and occur during daylight. All location will be done within London, mostly North (Haringey area). Final Dates to be confirmed once casting is complete. Unfortunately, because we are poor students we can only provide you with free travel and food/drink during the course of filming. But we are a lively and professional bunch of forthcoming film-makers that enjoy to work hard and fast too! If interested then let me know by e-mail and I will e-mail you the script over. Regards, Shahran Sunny Audit (Director/Screenplay) sunnyaudit@blueyonder.co.uk Mobile: 07963 407 047 |

| Short Film Needs Child Voiceover Open Call
I'm looking to cast a very important role in my short film "Yesterdays Boy". It will be submitted to the prestigious "Straight 8" Short film competition, possibly ending up at the Cannes Film Festival if it is selected. The part I am casting is the voice of a young boy to narrate the whole film. It would be very helpful if the child was quite confident, able to sing and preferably under 10 years old or with a young sounding voice. I'm eager to speak to parents who feel their child would be suitable for such a role. The child simply talks about their plans for the future, what they would like to do as a job, i.e doctor, fireman, footballer etc etc ( children usually want to be more than one thing when they grow up which adds to the humour) and then we hear the child sing a nursery rhyme. On screen while we hear all this, we see the same boy in his early twenties living a very different life to the one he wanted to. Now in his early 20’s he has developed a destructive addiction to drugs and lives on the edge of the law. The contrast between hearing a young boy’s dreams for the future and seeing the images of what he has actually become will hopefully result in an incredibly moving film about how our lives can sometimes led us to unexpected places. Recording of the childs voice should take no more than 1 or 2 days and I'm willing to pay £50 (which I know is very little but the project is completely self funded). I will of course be able to provide a copy of the film on VHS as well. I aim to start filming/recording around the beginning of March but would like to start auditioning as soon as possible. To give you a little background about myself-
I'm a professional 24yo actor who has worked extensively throughout the film and T.V industry and last year I won the Best Actor Award at the New York Film Festival- I'm the youngest person to ever win this award. I am also very interested in creating and developing projects and this film will be my directorial debut. If you would like to know anything else about the project or myself please email me at ashnewmans@yahoo.co.uk or call me on 07906 379818 |

Student Short Film Urgent Call
My name is Austin Stack and I am will be shooting a short film on the 24th and 25th of November in the Wandsworth area of London. I require a male child actor between the ages of 6 and 9 years for the Wednesday shoot. The role is dialogue free but is one of the two main parts. I realise this is very short notice and would very much appreciate any help.I am a student at the Metropolitan Film School in clapham and I have also studied in new York and Dublin.The film itself is fully insured, has a working professional crew and will have a registered Health and Safety officer on set at all times.Unfortunately I would only be able to pay expenses but I would provide the boy and his chaperone with everything that they require for the day.The film will be shown in a picturehouse cinema in London before Christmas and industry professionals will be in attendance. There is also a chance that they might purchase it and show it in some of their 44 cinemas nationwide before the main feature. The Picturehouse Group and the Met Film school have a working relationship and they have bought a couple of films from each previous course.I am very confident about how the film will turn out and I intend to distribute it to festivals in this country and beyond.This is a great opportunity for a young actor starting out as I have assembled an experienced cast who believe strongly in the script. The story revolves around a young boy out to dinner with his seperated parents on his birthday. A stand-off ensues when the boy refuses to finish his dinner and his father forbids from having his cake until he does so. Matters get worse when a man enters the restaurant and proceeds to order everything on the dessert menu. I would prefer to let you read the script to find out more but suffice to say it is perfectly family safe. I am sure that it will achieve a PG rating by the censors.I look forward to hearing from you.Thanks, Austin Stack 02089836145/07748531249 Email austin_stack@hotmail.com

The husband of the family is a painter and due to his artistic block cannot continue with his work. The filming will be sometime over the next month and will involve a few days of shooting arond the newport area. The script contains some language and takles problematic issues like offensive graffiti around the walls in town, The aim of the film is to tell a story about two kids growing up in a bad situation rising above the odds to make the best out of their current lifestyles. The parts for this film are: Older Brother (Jim) 16 Very honourable and freindly, believes in rights for all fellow humans.Tries to teach younger brother to love his enemies. Jim is fairly skinny and not yet at the right age to stand up to his father. Younger Brother (Adam) 11-12 Very self contained, stores his anger inside and only occasionally let's out how he is feeling. Adam is a little bit chubby but sweet looking. Admires his older brother and see's him as a fatherly figure. Unfortunately there is no money involved in the film but all the members involved are very passionate filmmakers and we would love to collaborate with eager performers. The aims for this film are to enter festivals mainly around the student market and to say something worthwhile in a character based story.
