Project Description

Hello, 

 

   My name is Sean. I'm in the Fall '17 MFA Filmmaking Feature Track Program. I'm looking for six actors to take part in a table read for a feature film. This is a table read only, not an audition nor a casting. The table read will be Tuesday, May 7th  from 9:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Riverside building (waiting on room confirmation).

 

5 males (any age, don’t worry about the ages listed).

1 Narrator.

 

    Refreshments will be provided. Please reply if interested and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The descriptions are below. Thank you for your time. 

 

 

Narrator - Sluglines and action, must be able to read quickly, clearly and concisely. 

 

Michael Blaine – Late 20s. Boyfriend. Ex-athlete. Weekend warrior. Stubborn. Michael was a two sport athlete in high school and college but was unable to make it as a pro. He is a Region Manager at a company going through some tough times. A good negotiator but can be brash at times. He sometimes thinks with his heart and not with his head which can get him into trouble. 

 

Jesse – Early 20s. Tyler’s little brother. He had a rough childhood because of an abusive, alcoholic Father. High school drop-out. Like to take the easy way out. Rap sheet a mile long, assault, b&e, robbery, etc. He has a hard time staying out of trouble but has always been able to get away with things because of Tyler’s protection. He was raised by his brother once their parents died and Tyler got out of the military.

 

Andre – 30s. Cool customer. Ex-military. Knows how to handle himself in a sticky situation. Has a thing for knives. An acquaintance of Tyler’s, not friends, just business associates. Violence is always a last resort. He’s all about getting the job done and sticking to the plan.

 

Nick – Early 20s. Ex-felon, mostly a small-time jobs, con-man, fraud, etc., looking to graduate to the big leagues. Did a few years for b&e where he met Jesse. This is his first major job. He gets shot because Jesse didn’t properly secure the scene. Practical and witty when healthy.

 

Mr. Stanley – 60s. 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 Christina’s cabin when no one is there.
