Young Male Actors Wanted

Apr 18, 01:16 PM by Kate Taylor

Wanted male actors aged between 14 and 18 for a short film being shot next week. The film will be screened and premiered at the Moves08 Film Festival in Manchester on Sat 26th April and is being made by a small friendly, film crew and directed by Rebecca McKnight. One lead role is available and also a number of extra roles. Acting experience is not necessary as there is no dialogue in the film; however you must have enthusiasm, be able to take direction and able to commit to the shoot dates and times.

The film is set in Manchester and the lead actor will be asked to ride a BMX bike down a street and also do an underwater swimming scene in the Manchester Aquatics Centre (so you must be comfortable to be filmed in your swim shorts and be able to swim). The scenes the extras appear in are also shot in the swimming baths, so the same criteria will apply.

The shoot dates are:
Sun 20 Apr – early evening,
Mon 21 Apr – early evening,
Tues 22 Apr – early evening,
Weds 23 Apr – early evening.

Exact shoot times are to be confirmed. Travel expenses, refreshments, a DVD copy of the film and invites to the film premiere on Sat 26th April will be provided along with a Reference Letter to add to your CV.

To be considered please email the following information to Rebecca McKnight at reb.mcknight@gmail.com by midday on Sat 19 April: recent photo of yourself; your age; your height; where you live e.g. Manchester, Stockport etc; how you will travel to and from the shoot; and whether you have any acting experience. If you or your parents would like any further information please call Rebecca on 0781 597 8573.
