Martian short film casting in San Francisco, CA.
Are you an aspiring actor looking to land your next role in a short film? Well, look no further! The First Martian is holding an open casting call for non-union actors to star in their upcoming production.
The short film is set in an early Mars colony where pregnancy is banned, and resources are scarce. The plot follows an older black scientist named Dr. Martha, played by a white female aged 60-65, as she fights to keep her surprising pregnancy alive despite efforts to terminate it.
Dr. Martha is the administrator of the colony, and her strict and austere appearance matches her no-nonsense demeanor. She’s tasked with keeping the settlement running smoothly, and she takes her job very seriously. The character requires a native Swedish accent similar to Pelle from the movie “Midsommar.”
This is a paid opportunity, and the production is looking to shoot in San Francisco, California, in May. All covid-19 safety procedures will be followed during filming to ensure the health and well-being of everyone involved.
If you’re interested in being considered for the role of Dr. Martha, be sure to submit your application as soon as possible. Local San Francisco hires will be prioritized, and non-union actors are encouraged to apply.
