Casting: Latino/a Actors for Spanish Language Children's Film in Tucson,
Arizona.

We are seeking Latino/Latina actors for a short UA student film, 16mm

Synopsis: Diego is a sweet 9-year-old boy who just so happens to be a
zombie!
After escaping from his bedroom in search of sesos, he finds himself at a
south Tucson playground, the only guest to little Flor's birthday party.
12-year-old Flor is as much as an outcast as her newly acquired "friend."
The ability to look past their differences earns each of them a new
companion and a life lesson on friendship.

Characters:
- DIEGO - (Latino, 8 to 11 years old): A sweet little "Zombito" yearning for
friendship and brains! Must be fluent in both English and Spanish.
- FLOR - (Latina, 12-14 years old): Birthday girl, an outcast in her own
right with her oversized glasses and messy hair. She is, of course
underneath her awkward exterior, a girl at heart, wanting friendship and
attention. MUST speak Spanish and English fluently.
- MAMI - (Latina, Late 20's - Late 30's): Diego's single/working mom who has
unconditional love for her little zombie.
- AMANDA - (Any Type, 10 to 14 years old) The "popular" girl who has an
encounter with Diego after making fun of his new friend. English speaking
part.
- GIRLS - (Ages 10-14) Friends of Amanda, English speaking parts.
- PARTY GUESTS - (All Types, pref. Latino/a, Adults Ages 30-40): The adult
guests of Flor's birthday, as no other kids have shown up.

The film is non-paying, non-union (but SAG actors are welcome to audition)
but meals will be provided and cast will receive DVD and invitation to the
public screening at completion of the film.
