Casting call: Seeking an expressive young actress for a unique role in an upcoming feature film in Georgia.
Casting TaylorMade is searching for a young, talented actress to fill a distinctive and emotionally charged role in an upcoming feature film. This is an exceptional opportunity for an expressive little girl of Black/African American descent, aged between 8 and 10, to showcase her acting abilities in a non-speaking part set in the 1970s.
The role calls for a young actress who can vividly display a wide array of emotions, particularly sorrow, sadness, hurt, and shock, solely through her facial expressions. This is a unique challenge, as the role is non-speaking, and the actress must be able to convey deep feelings in response to a traumatic event within the scene. It tests her ability to communicate complex emotions without words, making it a rare and valuable experience for a young performer.
In keeping with the 1970s setting of the scene, the young actress must have natural hair. The film strives for historical accuracy and, as such, looks for hairstyles authentic to the era. Hairstyles such as locs, braids, and twists are not in line with the period’s look and, therefore, are unsuitable for this role. This requirement emphasizes the film’s commitment to portraying a realistic and immersive 1970s environment.
A young actress must submit a brief video if she is shortlisted for this role. This video must demonstrate her ability to express the required emotions for the scene. This step is crucial in the casting process, allowing Casting TaylorMade to assess the actress’s suitability for the role and ability to meet its unique demands.
Role Requirements and Compensation Details
- Age: The actress must be between 8 and 10 years old.
- Gender: Female
- Ethnicity: Black/African American
- Hair: Must have natural hair to align with the 1970s setting.
- Education: It’s important that the actress be homeschooled or on a holiday break on December 21 to comply with minor working hour laws.
The selected actress will be compensated at a rate of $175 per 10-hour day of filming. This is a job opportunity and a chance to participate in a creative endeavor that values historical accuracy and emotional storytelling.
Casting TaylorMade invites all eligible young actresses who meet these criteria to apply for this unique role. It’s a chance to be part of a project that values deep emotional expression and historical authenticity. This could be a stepping stone in a young performer’s career, offering her an opportunity to showcase her talent on a grand stage.
