The following roles are open and paid; they are leads or major supporting:
Tom – 30 – 35, that all American quarterback look. Think Paul Walker. He is the movie’s lead, you must be clear for the entire shooting schedule. We will consider local and out of state talent. If cast, out of state talent will be housed.
Tiffany – age 6. Must be willing to get a very short haircut. This is a lead role, we will consider out of town talent and house you (and a parent) if you are cast. Tiffany will be on set as many as 10 days. We are not only looking for a great young actress, we also need a parent who understands and supports independent film.
Sara, 26-34, conservative, pretty. She is Tom’s wife, a major character in Act 1. Roughly 6 days.
Rebecca, 26-34, kind, attractive, Jewish. Roughly 6 days.
Melissa – 26- 34. A very kind nurse at Tiffany’s hospital. Two years after his wife’s death Tom has every right to date her, although he feels very awkward about the idea of dating. Roughly 5 days. Women 26 – 34 will likely be asked to read for Sara, Melissa, and, depending on your look, Rebecca.
Dr. Robinson – open to both genders and all races, age 35+ please. 1 day, many scenes.
Gene, 50s, male, fire chief. Open to all races. 3 to 4 days.
