Nine Buddhas Films is shooting a short horror film this week end here in Tucson to submit to the Arizona Underground Film Festival. 

An elderly couple commit suicide together, because they are unable to pay off a series of payday/title loans. 

Their adult son [our male lead] kidnaps the title store manager. He beats her, tortures her and is going to kill her -- but when his sister finds out what he has done, she tries to convince him that they should keep her alive as long as the title loan store agrees to remain closed. But her idea does not go as planned. Things get ugly. As it's a horror film -- not everyone can go home at the end of the show. 

We shoot with broadcast quality equipment: 3 Canon 7d's, a series of L rated prime lenses, Photoflex and Lowell Pro lights, Seinhauser mics, and Matthews C-stands. 

Our group won the audience award for best picture at the Loft's last 48 Hour Shoot Out and for our film Edward Scissorhands is Black, and we showed our film Brother's Work at the Phoenix Art Museum last week end as part of the IFP Phoenix's last program. 

We want our current hostage short to be the best film we have made. We already have some wonderful actresses to play the hostage and the daughter/sister. 

But we need an 18 to 35 year old male actor to play the brother. You don't need to be tall and handsome -- you do need to be able to act. It's the lead male role. You are the protagonist. Great action in dealing with the hostage. Great dialogue exchanged with the female lead -- the sister. It's a fabulous role in what we hope will be a great film. 

No monetary compensation, but you get title credit, a copy of the DVD, and some mighty tasty treats to eat while you work. 

If you want to audition, send an email to Chris at ninebuddhas@gmail.com with either your headshot and resume or a description of your experience.
