Tucson Dramatic Films is casting for Impala, a feature length crime drama to be shot in Tucson and Southern Arizona during the period from October 1, 2012 through December 15, 2012.
We will be casting on Friday August 31, Saturday September 1, and Sunday September 2 from 9:00 AM until 7:00 PM each day. Audition reservations are required for all roles.
Impala is about a drug deal gone wrong. Two young dealers get custody of a key of heroine from an established dealer. They set up a buy, which becomes a gun fight, but at the end of the day the two young dealers end up with both the cash and the drugs. Unfortunately, by the following morning, both the drugs and the money have been stolen from them and they are simultaneously running from the disgruntled established dealer, the disgruntled buyers (one of whom was shot but not killed), and the cops, while the young drug dealers are trying to find either the drugs or the money to clear their name. The film is titled after the 1971 blue Chevrolet Impala that the protagonists drive throughout the film and for the African animal known for its skill in running from established predators.
This is a Non-Union production offering the following pay scale: $200 per eight hour day for the eight Leads; $100 per eight hour day for Major Supporting Roles; $50 per eight hour day for each Minor Supporting Roles; and a copy of the film on distribution and title credit for Extras. All actors must be at least 18 years of age.
