Detroit Independent Filmmaker Casting
Looking for a actor who can portray a Caucasian teenage boy within the age range of 15-18 who is athletic and confident. The young man is charming and has a great smile. However, his charm is quite deceptive when he turns on a teenage girl.
The film is the continuation of a short film by Detroit Independent Filmmaker Kim Rice.We will be shooting within the next two months to wrap the film up. This is an unpaid gig, but rather a great opportunity to build an actor’s reel and gain experience in the field.
Looking for an actor who has a flexible schedule and is serious about the task.
Please email me at kimricefilms@yahoo.com for details.
Feel free to send a resume and headshot as well. Auditions will be held in Detroit, MI within the next week. Thank you for your time!
