This production is requiring all cast & crew, including background actors, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to be considered for work you MUST FALL INTO EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (1) fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine (meaning more than 14 days have passed since you received both the initial and second shot of Pfizer or Moderna, or since you received the single shot of Johnson & Johnson) or (2) have a disability or sincerely-held religious belief that prevents vaccination. 

If you meet either of the two categories above, please submit WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. If you are selected, you will be given separate information on how to provide evidence to the production that you fall within either of the two categories mentioned above. Any job offer will be conditioned on satisfactorily showing such evidence to the production either before or upon arrival on set, as determined by the production’s procedures. 

Failure to provide satisfactory evidence will result in your not being hired for the project and/or turned away from set (as though no offer of work was given).  In such case, you will NOT be eligible for payment because you were not employed/hired.  The production, not Central Casting, will collect your evidence; thus, do NOT send your evidence to Central Casting.

Regardless of vaccination, you must still test negative for COVID-19 on one or more tests to be arranged by production prior to the first production work date.  

Lastly, please note that under the July 19, 2021 Return to Work Agreement, if you test negative for COVID-19 and do not show up to work on the production work date, the production is not required to pay you for the testing.     

NOTE: As a condition of working on set, all talent are required to get Covid-19 test at a production sanctioned testing facility prior to any work date. 

Must be okay with any form test (nasal swabs, etc). Additional testing may also be done on workdays. While at the test facility and on set, Production requires that a face mask that covers your nose and mouth be worn.

Southern Arizona Casting is hosting an audition/table read on Friday, the 14th of January from 5pm to 7pm at Southern Arizona Video Production at 911 S Tyndall Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719.

This is a pre-pre production session for a new drama/action film based on true events that took place in Tucson and surrounding areas in Southern Arizona and Mexico.

The roles we need for the table read are as follows:

•  MANDY BOWERS, 30s, Border Patrol agent, petite and no-nonsense
•  NATE HARDCASTLE, 30s, Border Patrol agent–the kind you wouldn’t want to mess with
•  ROSITA DIbAZ, 20s, a knockout with attitude
•  ANGEL JIMENEZ, 30s, leader of the Penasco Cartel, a lethal-looking man
•  JIM TICE, 50s, OSI Special Agent in Charge, a big man in a small office
•  JERRY HUNTER, 50s, a scruffy retired Marine

•  OSCAR DIAZ, 20s, a reluctant drug runner
•  RICARDO GARCIA, 30s, thin and wiry
•  ROSE ENGSTROM, 50s, a fiery redhead

If you are selected for the table read it does NOT guarantee a speaking role in the film.

However, anyone attending will be on the short list to audition once production starts.

There is no pay for this read, but this will be a union shoot at prevailing SAG/AFTRA wages.

Since the cast is rather large, you may be asked to read more than one role or another part not listed here. This can be helpful as you will be reading for the Producer, Director, Screenwriter and Author of the film.

Standard CDC rules will apply. Masks are required at arrival and you may have a temperature check before entering.

We will be finalizing the cast list for the read on the 12th and 13th.
