Showing Roots Movie Now Filming and Hiring in Louisiana

Date:

Baton Rouge, Louisiana Calls – Showing Roots is now filming in Baton Rouge and looking for crew members and actors to work on the feature film.

From the production company that brought to you “Seven Psychopaths” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Man with the Iron Fists”, comes “Showing Roots”. Showing Roots will film in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and are crew members, stand-ins, and actors to work on the movie.

Almost exclusively known for its work assisting other companies with the use of its post-production facilities this will be feature film to be made by Upload Films. Upload Films will be entirely producing their own feature film, from to sound to promotion and everything in between.

“It’s a story that right when I saw it, I knew it was something I’d always wanted to make but just couldn’t quite put my finger on it,” said local Upload Films Todd Williams. “We’ll be contracting certain services out that we wouldn’t be able to provide otherwise, like professional casting directors and that sort of thing,” Williams said.

Williams who is always looking for new talent,  has an extensive background in producing films. Upload Films has done production work for films like Quentin Tarantino’s “Man with the Iron Fists” and Oscar-winner Martin McDonagh’s “Seven Psychopaths.”

Upload Films is using Louisiana’s tax incentives to film throughout Louisiana. But, producers have also pointed out that Louisiana has a great quality for storytelling. “Not only have there been great stories made here in Louisiana, but we feel like there’s still a lot more the state has to offer as well,” Williams said. “It’s a great place to make films and a lot of people are starting to see that.”

Upload Films feature film Showing Roots will shoot December 1st-20th in Baton Rouge. Please send resumes to [email protected]. In addition, casting directors are casting actors, models, and talent to work as an extra in the movie. To audition for a role, check out the casting call details below:
