CASTING CALL - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2010
We are looking to fill roles for TWO University of Arizona Media Arts BFA Thesis short films:
'Hi-Fi Alibi' - A popular radio DJ plots to murder his wife after convincing himself that she is sleeping with the mailman. After finding evidence that his wife is cheating on him with the mailman, popular radio DJ, and notorious hothead, Don decides to murder his wife and frame her fellow adulterer. Don concocts an alibi that will place him at work during the time of his wife?s murder, but not everything goes as planned.
'Housewarming' - The Donovan family has just settled into a new house, and Elora, the typical rebellious teenager, is less than happy about it. When her parents host a housewarming dinner, Elora struggles to recognize that ?home? is not about where you are, but whom you?re with.
We are looking for the following:
'HI-FI ALIBI'
DON - 25-35, Caucasian Male; Radio DJ with a big on-air personality, off air Don is insecure with a short fuse. Don is constantly concerned that his wife Sharon is unfaithful. Once Don is convinced that Sharon is sleeping with their mailman (Jim), he is driven to murderous intent. [ Lead Role ]
SHARON - 25-35, Caucasian Female; Don?s attractive, yet plain wife, Sharon truly loves Don, but has grown increasingly annoyed with his insecurities. When Don insinuates that Sharon might be stepping out with their mailman (Jim) she is very dismissive with him. [ Supporting Role ]

MITCHELL - 17, male; is a young man with an unspoken burden. He knows that his father, Uncle Jim, is cheating on his mother, Aunt Helen, even though both of them pretend that everything?s ok.
