Casting directors are now casting future rules for the upcoming feature film Best of Enemies. Casting directors are looking for talent to play equal rights protesters, young pro-segregation protesters, African-American mothers, and Miss North Carolina beauty queens. Filming will take place this May through June in Atlanta, Georgia.
About Best of Enemies:
The Best of Enemies will tell the story of 2 major
civil rights activitists (Ann Atwater and C.P. Ellis) at a prominent point in their lives – North Carolina’s decision to integrate black and white schools.
History often has a darker side, especially when dealing with history in the south, and this film will respectfully bring that darkness into the light as we deal with the issue of racism. C.P. Ellis was born and raised on the poor west side of
Durham, North Carolina, and as a young man, he joined the Ku Klux Klan seeking a sense of brotherhood and belonging. That being said, we are looking for background actors who are comfortable portraying C.P.’s fellow Klansmen in 1971.
