Film Fest Tucson is a destination film festival, a place for filmmakers and audiences to meet, discover and experience unique and important stories told on film. The festival is for the community of Southern Arizona, as well as for visitors to the region to experience the unique environment, heritage and culture of Tucson and the surrounding area, while seeing new and important films. A unique and home-grown Tucson film festival for those passionate about movies. Programming at Film Fest Tucson includes both short and feature-length narrative and documentary films that have been selected for their quality, timeliness and subject matter. With a strong interest in presenting work by emerging as well as established filmmakers, Film Fest Tucson has some of the best audiences on the circuit—educated and savvy film fans who look forward to post screening Q & A’s almost as much as the films themselves. With top quality projection and sound presented in unique venues, panels, parties and some of Tucson’s most iconic experiences like Hotel Congress, Whiskey del Bac, Arizona Inn, AC Marriott, Sand Reckoner, Dragoon Brewing and many others, Film Fest Tucson is the place to be in October.

CASTING CALL, FEMALE LEAD, FEATURE FILM: “Perpetuity”

 

From: Patrick Carson Padderick Productions <padderickproductions@gmail.com>
Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 6:54 PM
Subject: A Film Audition Post

 

CASTING FEATURE FILM: "Perpetuity"

Produced by Padderick Productions, Tucson, Arizona

Produced and Directed by Alan Williams and Patrick James Carson - Writer (His screenplay and play "Elevator" became the theatrically released major motion picture, "9/11" – now on Netflix, Amazon, etc.)

 

Synopsis:   A woman tries to survive a terrorist attack while recalling forgotten childhood trauma.

 

Story: "Perpetuity" takes place as a terrorist attack traps and perhaps mortally injures a woman in an ever-collapsing room. The film's parallel plot equally deals with repressed memories that only in this insane setting start emerging. While the woman tries to survive her circumstances, she slowly, and painfully, recalls the trauma of her childhood abuse and how it has affected her adult life. The movie shows how even in the most horrible of circumstances, something healing can result.

 

CASTING FOR FEMALE LEAD (Age Range 25-50)

 

An eminently timely motion picture in this time of "Me Too," the female lead in this film is in every shot of the film.  Solo lead.  No blatant nudity or even strong language though involve intense psychological themes dealing with recalled lost memories of child abuse.  SUPERP actresses only.   Must be photogenic, and physically fit as the role requires stamina.  Actor must be able to look worn down while still conveying a sense of grace.  Expressive range all over the map from childlike innocence to massive emotional breakdowns to hard to read—subtle--expressions (blankness).  Must be able to convey a message without words and through her eyes. Must have a clear and highly expressive speaking voice. 

 

Actress must be able to carry the whole project single handed.  This is an extremely rare opportunity. It is not hyperbole to suggest this a true one of kind role.

 

We're casting for someone outstanding.  Please respond only if you think you have the chops. 

 

The first round of auditioning is online submissions.  Send resume, headshot, and video. Can be self-made. New talent is fine if you really think you're talented.  Not interested in seeing commercials or corporate videos or high comedy.  Looking only for dramatic works.  If you make a self-made video, choose an appropriate scene. Keep videos short.  Leave us wanting more, not wanting to shut it off.

 

Submit to:  PadderickProductions@gmail.com.  First round submissions accepted through October 15^th

LTW presents Death by Design

Live Theatre Workshop presents

Death by Design

By Rob Urbinati

A mix of Noël Coward wit and Agatha Christie plot. Set in an English country manor in 1932, playwright Edward Bennet and his wife, the actress Sorel Bennett, flee London and head to Cookham after a disastrous opening night. Their quiet weekend dissolves as various guests arrive unexpectedly, each with a long-held secret. When one of the guests is murdered, it’s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in homicide, to solve the crime. This play is more than an homage—it's a new classic. But don’t expect this play to unlock the mystery to designing the perfect murder—unless the weapon of choice is laughter.

SHOW DATES: 
Thursday: 10/11, 10/18, 10/25, 11/1, 11/8, 11/15
