My name is Jen Winterbotham. I am a student at Arizona State University and I am trying to cast my senior capstone entitled “La gallina degollada.” The film will be approximately 17 minutes in length and will be in Spanish. We are looking for Hispanic talent in the Tucson/Southern Arizona region because we will be shooting in Tubac, AZ at a vacation rental home. We are looking for all levels of talent and much experience is not necessary, as we all trying to learn and hone our craft. Compensation will include provided meals, credit, and a copy of the film upon completion. I pasted the posting information below as well as included an attachment. Thank you.

LA GALLINA DEGOLLADA

Written and Directed by Jen Winterbotham

Based off the short story by Horacio Quiroga

 

Synopsis: La gallina degollada is a short Spanish film exploring themes of child neglect and vanity. The film follows Hernando Morales and his struggle between his love for his three mentally challenged sons and his relationship with his wife, Irene. When it seems as if their marriage is faltering, Irene gives birth to their first daughter, Anastacia. As the years pass, Anastacia fulfills Irene’s image of what the perfect child should be.  As their sons fall into the care of an abusive maid, their lives take a turn for the worse.

 

Yadira (20-25): Supporting. A timid household maid. Must speak Spanish.

 

Raimunda (50-65): Supporting. A brute woman; household maid.

 

Anastacia (4-5): Spoiled but clever. Must speak Spanish.

 

**Guillermo, Luis, Alejandro: All three are mute and unresponsive, yet still convey innocence.

 

**For the roles of Guillermo, Luis, and Alejandro we are looking for Hispanic children ranges 2-12, since we will be seeing the boys at different stages in their lives. It is not necessary that the boys speak Spanish.
