Subject: [Tucson Actors Forum] Casting call for film "Good Mourning Graves"; Film set to track of music
This is a short film that is set entirely to one track of music by a former popular band in Phoenix, AZ called "The Bodhi Tree". It's a story about a man accepting his own death and is loosely based on a piece of artwork by Rob Dobi and inspired by "The Coma" by Alex Garland.
We will be submitting this film to as many festivals as we can.
LOGLINE: While traveling home with a sacred gift, Graves is caught in a series of unfortunate events, which wash his plans down the gutter. To his dismay, Graves finds himself unable to return for his important engagement. When he escapes, he soon realizes that the world around him has become different.
Graves - MALE / 20 TO 30
There is no dialogue in this movie, so this part ESPECIALLY should be able to act very subtle and powerful to communicate feeling without making it cheesy.
Comfort - FEMALE / 20 TO 30
Graves' widow who is pregnant when Graves visits. It would be preferred if the actress is willing to change hair color/style, but not required.
Driver - FEMALE / 18 TO 25
A clumsy driver that hits Graves while putting on make-up while driving. College look.
Man walking Dog - MALE / 18 TO 60
A man who walks a dog. It's preferred if you already have a dog that can bark on command.
Paramedic - MALE OR FEMALE / 20-35
Paramedic who helps Graves after he is first hit by the car
Nurse - FEMALE / 20 TO 40
Nurse who helps Graves after he is hit by the car.
Doctor - MALE / 30 TO 50
Doctor who is hit with blood by one of Graves' wounds.
Wraith - MALE / 20 TO 50
BIG guy. At least 6'5". A mean looking guy who is also dead and can see Graves. He ends up attacking Graves outside of the hospital.
Child - MALE OR FEMALE / 5 TO 10
Graves future child.
WHERE: Corleone Student Center (next to El Sahuarito Mexican Food restaurant) on 1035 E. Mabel Street between Fremont and Park Ave. Parking in the zone lot is free after 5:00.
WHEN: March 31, April 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 between 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT PREFERRED, BUT WALK-INS ACCEPTED: Email: casting@westernsubvertstudios.com OR leave a voicemail at 520-829-5886
If you're unable to make the audition, please email anyway and we might be able to work out a time.
Since there is no dialogue in this film, the audition will be a little different. We will be taping you doing a scene to see emotional expression. You will have time there to prepare. The smaller roles will just be a look and we'll just sit and talk for a little while. PLEASE BRING A HEADSHOT/RESUME WITH YOU, if you're able. Since we are a new, small company, there is no pay, but you will get a DVD as well as exposure at festivals.
This is the first short film by a new film company in town, Western Subvert Studios. It is being directed by Taylor Genovese and is written by his brother, Hudson Genovese. For more information, see http://www.westernsubvertstudios.com.
