Subject: Casting for FSU Thesis Films

Hello Shelby -

We are seeking actors for two thesis film's at FSU's Film School:
"Tosa Boy" and "Dog City"

"Tosa Boy" and "Dog City" are companion pieces set in a dystopian near future where Tosa fighting (no rules boxing) has become the blood sport of choice in the sprawling city slums.  The twist: the fighters are children.  "Dog City" is about junky Liam's struggle to get himself and his younger brother Jason out from under the thumb of gangster Mirk, who runs a Tosa circuit. When Mirk discovers Liam's plans, he kills him.

"Tosa Boy" is set three years later and follows Jason, now one of Mirk's Tosa fighters, as he learns the truth about Mirk and tries to save himself and his best friend Tim the way Liam once tried to save Jason.

We are looking to cast Tim, Older Jason, Younger Jason, and Liam.
YOUNGER JASON APPEARS IN BOTH FILMS.

Tim - 12/13 - bitter and angry - Tim hates the world of Tosa fighting and wants desperately to escape it - character uses mature language - boys with fighting experience preferred but not necessary

Older Jason - 14/15 - stubborn, tough - Jason is full of hate for everything but Mirk, who he thinks saved him from a life on the streets - character uses mature language - boys with fighting experience preferred but not necessary

Younger Jason - 9-11 - scrappy, angry, innocent - Jason wants nothing more than to be a priority to his older brother Liam - must be able to handle mature themes (violence and drug use)

Liam - 20-25 - overwhelmed, resentful - Liam wants to get himself and his brother out of their desperate situation, but keeps failing under a huge debt and a junk habit - tall, skinny - drug use in film - stage combat experience preferred but not necessary

"Tosa Boy" shoots June 7-12 and "Dog City" shoots July 8-10.  Both films shoot in the Tallahassee area.  Travel and hotel fees can be covered by the productions.

If interested please contact Rachel Pontbriand (producer) via email: r.pontbriand@gmail.com

Seeking Actors for FSU Short Film (need young adult male and female) (Tallahassee)
Date: 2012-05-16, 5:55PM EDT
Reply to: negativeghostrider3@yahoo.com

FSU Film School's MFA D2 Films are the intermediate project for us
graduate students. My upcoming D2, The Babe Wore Purple, is looking
for actors between the ages 18-23. My film is a dark romance about a
hubristic teenager, Jordan, who falls in love with the class
bombshell. After being double-crossed and setup, Jordan recognizes
the morality behind the conspiracy.
I am looking to cast both leads and the supporting role:
JORDAN, 18, hubristic, domineering. Jordan once got Smokey the Bear to
start a forest fire, he's that domineering.
LEXIE, 18, a teenage superstar, a heartthrob. Her beauty and swagger
can persuade people from Cleveland to love Lebron James.
CHARLES, 17, arrogant punk. Charles taught your girlfriend the things
you like. He also taught her the dirty things you don't.
Previous acting experience is not required. Shooting dates are June
25-26. If interested please call (505) 270-2955 to set up an
audition. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE.

Looking for Older Black Actors (Orlando/Brevard County)
Date: 2012-05-16, 5:38PM EDT
Reply to: warrentrenton@gmail.com

I'm an independent filmmaker beginning pre-production on my first
feature film and I'm looking for older black actors to be in it. The
project is called Et Cetera and it's based in my home of Cocoa,
Florida. The story's main theme is about how the often random forces
that we find ourselves controlled by in life tie us all together in a
way we really couldn't imagine. The main story is about a preacher
named Bishop Bolden, his wife Janice and his family and their struggle
to keep their church and the associated school afloat as they battle
the onslaught from the vicious news reporter Crystal Chrysler and
their own personal demons. The B plot is about the school secretary,
Mrs. Wilkins' son Aaron, a police officer, and his affair with one of
the teachers at the school, Ivy and their complicated relationship
with his drug addicted surrogate, Holly. There's a lot of commentary
about the Floridian school system, the inner working of the black
church world and how religion is perceived in the media.
We are looking for actors and actresses to black the roles of Bishop
Bolden, Mrs. Wilkins, Sister Jan along with other minor characters not
listed in the summary. Applicants must:
-Be between the ages of 45 to 65
-Be f African American, African, Afro-Latino, Birracial and/or
Carribbean descent
-Be willing to travel
-Send in a resume' with a headshot but if you don't have that and
still want to audition just email me and tell me about your backgroud
with some kind of picture.

Do you want to be a part of something really cool? How about
groundbreaking, conceptually brilliant, and one wild hell of a ride?
All without leaving the comfort of your house!
Think Paranormal Activity meets The Virginity Hit.
All that is required is a webcam, decent camera phone or any other
device to record your performance and that's it!
No awkward meetings with strange directors! Or driving at daybreak to
some distant location to shoot a grueling 6 hours in the hot sun!!
Let's make the next big independent blockbuster!
Typical back end points and screen credit...and a great reel piece!
Looking for all types, ages or gender.
Ideally natural actors who can deliver a performance.

Hello,
Actors needed for 48 hour film project. Here is the deal: We don't
have a script or even an idea for the shoot.
On friday night (May 18) at 6 pm they give us three words that we
must incorporate into the script. Therefore we must create the story
on the spot. We need to turn in the film by Sunday morning.
So the plan is to shoot Friday night, and Saturday , and edit all
night Sat. and Sunday.
I will have food , and drinks . I will try to provide as much as I can
to make you as comfortable as possible seeing as I have no money to
pay you.
This experience will be terrific, You will obviously get a copy of
the film so you can add it to your reel.
Please send any samples you have of you acting.
Thank you
Hope to see you over the weekend!

Character Breakdown:
Isabella- 15/16 year-old only daughter, inquisitive, a writer and
musician, has her own video blog, starting a band, they rehearse in
her room on Friday nights.
Victoria- Vain, can be mean and cruel, needs to dominate and be
adored, relies heavily if not exclusively on her looks and pulling
power plays, a manipulator and a liar if necessary; the rest of the
girls are scared of her and at the same time they want to be as
popular as her so they hang out with her. She is a party girl.
Apathy- Disinterested, favorite word/response to anything and
everything is 'Whatever'. She comes across as careless with her
appearance, Goth-like, purposefully rebellious and anti-authoritarian.
Kimmie- Perky, fun, a people Pleaser, has no real style of her own.
She shadows the Queen Bee and answers her every beck and call.
Desperate to fit in and be cool. Has no real sense of self. Takes
interest in knitting.
Jane- Very sweet girl. Overly body-conscious. On the verge of
developing a serious eating disorder.
Sam- Tori's younger sister, a tomboy, plays the ukele, super creative
and outspoken. Always left out and shut-up by the older girls. (This
part has already been CAST)
The Poet- 15 or 16 yrs old... An outsider, avid reader, experimenting
with marijuana, has a crush on the lead character, quiet and
observant, undergoes his own transformation during the play.
The Jock- 17 or 18 yrs old... Good-looking, strong, shallow. Uses his
brawn to intimidate and his looks to seduce.
Mother- Has indigineous roots, probably Latina. A single mother who is
always super busy with work, highly ambitious and big bread-earner.
(Also plays one the three fates)
History Teacher- Like a Socratic fairy godmother who guides and
provokes the students to become intuitive, critical thinkers. (Also
plays one the three fates)
The Three Fates/Godmothers- They function as a Greek Chorus, appearing
in key moments to narrate. They sit at a spinning wheel of life
speaking in poetry and riddles.

PROGRAM  Connect with others, study cold readings, learn repetition and commit to the moment. A must for beginner and serious actors who want to improve in their craft by becoming open and free. Using "emotional honesty," in which we tune into our instincts rather than pretend to make something happen, we do partner exercises, warm-ups, cold readings, scene study and improvisation work in a program that takes two years to complete. Beginners welcome. Ages 17+.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Michelle Martin was immersed in the entertainment industry from a young age, spending her childhood years with her friends and their parents who were some of the top producers, actors and directors at the time. She was given a behind the scenes, realistic view of the business early on. When it came time to follow her acting dream, she moved to New York City, where she studied at some of the best acting schools in the world, all the while strengthening her skills as an actress doing theater. Michelle soon got a reputation as an extremely versatile actress, which led theater great Steven Berkoff to cast her in an original production. Back in L.A., she focused on auditioning for film and television and went to network several times, before heading back to New York again. In New York, with a lot of projects in the works, everything in her life was put to a sudden halt with a shocking breast cancer diagnosis. After a four year hiatus where she focused on treatment and healing, she returned to Los Angeles where she was invited by an executive at Fox to pitch a one hour t.v. drama. After 3 years developing a t.v. series (that is loosely based on her life story) about a young breast cancer survivor who is pursuing a creative career in Hollywood, she started focusing on acting again. With the show still in development, she began shooting several short films and gaining the attention of some of her dream directors. In addition, Michelle appeared in one of the most high profile national commercials of 2011. In addition to acting, Michelle is a writer and after her short play "The Last Straw" was produced in New York on Theater Row, she was invited to join the Dramatists Guild. She just completed her first book, "Steps to Success: Daily Declarations for the Actor", which is soon to be published.

Mark Mullen- Spring Work Shops! 

It's spring and things are still kicking in the world of commercial, television, and motion picture casting - making it the perfect time to dive into a workout with one of the many workshops being offered at Mullen Casting this winter!

Adults 17 and over are invited to join us on SUN., MAY. 13 - 10AM TO 4PMwhen Casting Directors Mark Mullen and Shannon Ready share over 10 years of expertise about the auditioning process by revealing what goes on after the callback. This is a rare opportunity to take a walk inside the minds of the directors, producers, ad agency execs and clients who set the trends and call the shots that ultimately result in whether you're booking jobs or just going to a lot of auditions.

Mark will share stories of audition mishaps, close calls, missed opportunities and that rare moment when the planets align and the elusive role is booked. Actors will be put on camera reading actual commercial copy, television sides, and feature film scripts. The performances will then be viewed and analyzed in front of the class.

Q & A Session (3 pm to 4 pm): By the end of the workshop you will hopefully possess answers to every question you've ever had about the business in Florida and beyond. Prepare for straight-from-the-hip answers to the questions others tend to skirt.

Each participant will receive a flash drive of their performances from the workshop! This is a great way to continue reviewing and refining your skills long after the workshop has concluded.
