“The Golden Age” Casting Call (Paid; Non-Union)

Production Description: Casting actors for independent feature film “The Golden Age”written, directed, and produced by Kaleb Quist.

Project Description: A slice-of-life comedy/drama which follows a group of elderly superheroes living together in a retirement home. Stripped of their pride and superpowers, they must face their greatest adversary of all: Retirement.

MAIN ROLES:

The Omega Man: Male, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

The world’s first superhero, who’s inspired a generation of heroes to follow in his footsteps. Though he was once a celebrity, he’s now a crippled old man, who’s been deprived of his powers. In his final years, he yearns for one last chance to save humanity, as he fights for truth, justice, and the American way.

The Militia Man: Male, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

Nazi killer, action movie star, womanizer, American icon…He’s done it all. As a war veteran, he represents the best of this country’s ideals, including freedom from oppression and tyranny. As a true patriot, he’ll stop at nothing to maintain his freedom…Even if it means rebelling against the nursing home itself.

She-Woman: Female, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

A goddess of ancient Egyptian folklore, once worshipped by her people for battling ancient demons and tyrannical gods. Though she’s lost her immortality, she’s kept her razor-sharp wit and fiery temper, which is enough to defeat whatever villains might stand in her way.

Mothman: Male, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

A gothic crusader, draped in black and gray, with only the shadows as his accomplice. For decades, he’s been a centerpiece of midwestern folklore, whose mere existence has been called into question. When he’s not delivering dramatic monologues to the rooftops at night, he can be found bewailing his tragic (and heavily cliched) backstory.

Skunkboy: Male, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

A parody of D-list superheroes, scarcely remembered from the pages of comic book history. Like a real skunk, he’s often underestimated until he unleashes his toxic fart powers, which are formidable enough to defeat the strongest of supervillains. This makes him a powerful ally, and an even more powerful enemy.

Literally Satan: Male, 55+

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

Yes, he’s Literally Satan, the devil incarnate, the master of all evil. Since he’s the only “supervillain” living in the nursing home, he loves playing pranks on the other superheroes…That is, until he’s diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and the others are forced to watch him succumb to his illness.

SUPPORTING ROLES:

Nurse Nina: Female, 25 – 35

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

A kind-hearted nurse who’s stuck working at the nursing home 12-to-15 hours a day for minimum wage. She spends all her time cleaning up after the old folks and making sure they stay out of trouble, which is obviously easier said than done. To her, it’s not just a job, but a means of giving back to an older generation.

Dr. Claremont: Female, 30 – 55

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

The owner of the nursing home, who makes sure the old folks are taken care of, in every facet of everyday life. Even when she’s not there, her presence is felt throughout the entire movie, as she oversees their day-to-day operations, and makes sure their business is running smoothly.

Nurse Hugo: Male, 25 – 35

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

Like the other nurses, Nurse Hugo is a hard-working nurse who’s stuck working at the nursing home 12-to-15 hours a day for minimum wage. Some might consider him “bossy” or “strict,” but he’ll stop at nothing to maintain order in the nursing home, rather than letting the old folks descend into chaos. (Spoiler alert: They descend into chaos.)

Desmond: Female, 35 – 55

Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

The daughter of Literally Satan, and the closest thing the film has to a true villain. Her father’s now a sick old man, but that doesn’t stop her from neglecting and abusing him, hoping to make him pay for his crimes against humanity. Her icy demeanor and hunger for power is menacing enough to oppress the literal devil himself. 

COMPENSATION:

All roles will be given $100 per day.

The final film will be submitted to film festivals all over the world, including Sundance, Palm Springs, Slamdance, etc., with the intention of finding a distribution deal.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTING:

This posting is only open to those who are living in Southern Oregon, or those who are willing to film in Grants Pass/Medford, Oregon. Sorry, no travel or lodging.

Prior acting experience preferred, but not required.

We will be filming from May to June. Most of the shooting will be done on the weekends to accommodate cast and crew who might be working full-time.

Must be committed to working 8 hours per shoot day. Must be punctual, trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and eager to learn their lines in a timely manner.

This movie is a celebration of old age, which means we are not going to shy away from things like wrinkles and gray hair, but instead revel in them.

HOW TO SUBMIT:

If you meet all of these requirements, please send an email to [email protected].

In the subject line of the email, please include your full name, plus which character you’re most interested in auditioning for. For instance: “John Doe – The Omega Man.”

Please send headshots and a resume of all your acting jobs, including film, television, radio, stage, web series, and so on.

If possible, please attach a demo reel and/or a scene you’ve acted in. Google Drive links, Vimeo links, and YouTube links are acceptable.

“HOW WILL I AUDITION?”

Auditions will be taking place over ZOOM.

If you are chosen for an audition, you will be sent a date, time, and link for your Zoom audition. All you need is a working webcam with decent audio!

If you haven’t gotten a reply, please do NOT send a follow-up email.

Thank you and good luck!
