Hello,
My name is Sean. I'm in the Fall '17 MFA Filmmaking Feature Track Program. I'm looking for seven actors to take part in a table read for a feature film on Wednesday, February 6th from 12:15 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. in Riverside/Burbank Studios (waiting on room confirmation). 5 males. 1 female. 1 Narrator (sluglines and action). Please reach out to me at sean.jackson@nyfa.edu. Thank you for your time.
Michael Blaine – Late 20s. Boyfriend. Ex-athlete. Weekend warrior. Stubborn. Michael was a two sport athlete in high school and college but just wasn’t good enough to make it as a pro. He works at a gym as a personal trainer. Brash. He sometimes thinks with his heart and not with his head which can get him into trouble.
Jesse – Early 20s. Asshole little brother of Tyler. Stayed in trouble. He, and his brother, Tyler, had a rough childhood because of an abusive, alcoholic Father. High school drop-out. Rap sheet a mile long, assault, b&e, robbery. He has always been able to get away with things because he has been protected by his brother Tyler, who raised him once their parents died.
Andre – 30s. Cool customer. Ex-military. Knows how to handle himself in a sticky situation. Has a thing for knives. An associate of Tyler’s, not friends, just acquaintances. Make a plan. Stick to the plan.
Nick – Early 20s. Small-time felon, looking to graduate to the big leagues. Did a few years for b&e where he met Jesse. This is his first job. He gets shot because Jesse didn’t properly scene at the bank and he was shot by the Bank Guard.
Mr. Stanley – Retired. Orrett likes to spend his free time fishing. Chris’ closest neighbor and family friend. Lives with his wife, Eunice, in their cabin year-round and helps to take care of Chris’s cabin when no one is there.
Mrs. Stanley – Retired. Eunice volunteers at the library. She lives with her husband, Orrett in the forest and helps to take care of the cabin when no one is there. They have known Christina since she was a little girl.
