COVID/VACCINATION:
Consistent with the COVID-19 Return to Work Agreement, this production has a mandatory vaccine policy for working in Zone A, including actors and background actors. This production may make limited accommodations as required by law for individuals that cannot be vaccinated because they are minors, have a disability, and have a sincerely held religious belief.

As of March 15th, 2022, the definition of ‘Fully Vaccinated’ includes a booster dose. If you’re NOT eligible for a booster dose until after March 15th, you can work until considered suitable for a booster.

In the future, freedom has a steep price. Sam and Birdie are siblings living in the deadly favelas of New Rio, trying to scrape together enough money for passage to one of the orbital cities in the sky — cities where food is plentiful, water runs clean, and the 1% reign supreme. The two are eager to use their skill as thieves and scrap metal engineers to survive, but the world is about to teach them a lesson the hard way: in this life, everything you get or take comes at a cost.

Currently, we are expecting 2-3 shoot days in Los Angeles, CA for both roles. If selected, the rate for each actor is 1k + 10% for an 8-hour shoot day. Dates are TBD but we are aiming to begin filming in May.

If you would like to be considered, please send us your email so that we can pass along the sides for both roles.

A reminder that all information is highly sensitive and confidential.
