The short film Esther & Sai is looking for background actors to play:
- nursing students (female, Caucasian, 18-30)
- university students and staff (open gender, open ethnicity, 18-40)
- grocery shoppers (open gender, Caucasian, all ages)
The film is a period piece set in the 1970s. This is a volunteer position, however, credit and snacks will be provided.
Esther & Sai is based on the true story of Sai Choo (a Chinese immigrant) and Esther Aneke (a Nigerian immigrant) who met in Vancouver at nursing school in 1976. They were among very few students of colour in the class and formed a lifelong friendship. For more information on the project, visit @estherandsai on Instagram.
