My classmate Robert John Torres and I (Class of '13) are casting for a short film shooting in LA in January 2017. ABOUT: Currently casting the following roles for the short film Writhing, shooting January 2017 on 16mm film. The short is a character driven drama shot with a high art aesthetic. Intended for festival circuit. We are shooting under the SAG Short Film Agreement. Please forward resumes, headshots, and reels to contact info below. Thank you! EVERETT: SAG. Caucasian/Hispanic/Black/Asian. 20-30. Enigmatic millennial gay male. Highly aesthetic and well put-together. Reserved, but razor sharp. We follow Everett around LA in the 24-hours before he finally goes thru with a long-avoided HIV test. He knows that it's very likely he is positive and has no idea how to deal with this. He is a cocktail of repressed fears, brutal anger, debilitating shame, and overwhelming anxiety wrapped in a package of perfect hair, bold fashion, and vape smoke. ACTOR MUST BE COMFORTABLE APPEARING SHIRTLESS. ACTOR MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH GAY CONTENT AND KISSING ANOTHER MALE ACTOR. ACTOR MUST BE COMFORTABLE SMOKING AND VAPING (will be non-nicotine). LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCED ACTORS. $125/day HUMANOID FIGURE: SAG. Male. ANY RACE. 20-30. He is a red-painted, completely silent humanoid shaped figure. He appears sporadically throughout the film dancing/writhing in ecstasy and pain, serving as an external personification of the central character’s own conflicted state. (**Director's Note: I'm looking for a strong dancer who improvises movement well. This is a major showcase for the right mover.) ACTOR/DANCER MUST BE COMFORTABLE SHIRTLESS. $125/day Elizabeth B.
