Job Description
Golden Age Studios is casting a Black or Mixed-Race actress to play Kyra, one of the leading roles in the upcoming London-based short film RUN. RUN is a zombie thriller following two survivors trying to navigate a world overrun by the infected. After running out of food, they are forced to embark on a dangerous supply run.
