Casting directors are now casting a ton of roles for the upcoming feature film. Producers are now hiring stand-ins, kid actors, teen actors, experienced background extras, and other featured roles. Anyone submitting for any of the rules must have all natural hair. That means no coloring and no highlights. All the rules will be selected by the director. Filming will shoot between mid-May to late July. Producers will be holding fittings starting this Thursday, May 11 in Atlanta.
About Best of Enemies:
The Best of Enemies will tell the story of 2 major civil rights activists (Ann Atwater and C.P. Ellis) at a prominent point in their lives – North Carolina’s decision to integrate black and white schools. History often has a darker side, especially when dealing with history in the south, and this film will respectfully bring that darkness into the light as we deal with the issue of racism. C.P. Ellis was born and raised on the poor west side of Durham, North Carolina, and as a young man, he joined the Ku Klux Klan seeking a sense of brotherhood and belonging. That being said, we are looking for background actors who are comfortable portraying C.P.’s fellow Klansmen in 1971.
To audition for a role in the new movie, check out the casting call breakdown below.
