Pennsylvania Casting Calls & Acting Auditions

The following script will be made into a short film for a film festival hosted by the University of Pittsburgh with a focus on microagressions.

The films will be made in the fall; however, we are looking for prospective actors to run through the script within the next couple weeks.

There are three characters in this short film, one protagonist and two supports.

Santiago(protagonist) – Hispanic/Latino, native spanish speaker, college aged, is reserved but not shy.

Mother – Native spanish speaker, age less important but preferably 30+, comforting presence, happy to speak to her son and supportive throughout.

Connor – college aged, persistent, subliminally annoying, uncomfortable with silence.

Script is attatched.

Again, this casting call is for the table read, but if available, the same actors would be cast in the fall.

Four Roles:

Brandon(protagonist): Clearly hiding big insecurities, he looks innocent but not well kept, he walks without a sense of direction or purpose, and holds a look on his face like he is constantly pondering something.

Ben: Elegant but not overdressed, he is calm, confident, collected, and speaks to our protagonist with judgement and silent disdain.

Homeless Man: In a state of stasis, not having to worry about the mundane, he chooses what to think about and how to think.

Girlfriend(voiceover): Sweet but clearly fed up with our protagonist and the relationship.

Script is attatched, lunch will be provided, friends to flesh out scenes encouraged.

I am an independent filmmaker from Fort Collins, CO, but am making this film for the University of Pittsburgh Film Program, in Pittsburgh, PA.
