Filming dates: Tuesday 4th December and Wednesday 5th December 2018

Synopsis: Based off the vigilant groups in Northern Island who police there communities. Giving it warnings to those who commit crimes, and shooting them in the knee caps after multiple offences.

Reference to understand the storyline better: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Character Bio’s

Leo- male- aged 17-21

Leo has been given his final warning after commuting multiple crimes of antisocial behaviour. This means he’s been given an appointment. Where two vigilant members will come to his house and shoot him in the knees caps for what he’s done. He’s a pro footballer with his life ahead of him. If he gets shot in the knee caps his dreams of ever playing again will be ruined.

The character playing Leo must be able to do an Irish accent. Ideally he should be between 5,10-6,1. With a natural hair colour.

Figure 1- male- aged 20-30

One of the members of the vigilante group. Will be wearing a balaclava so it is not important what he looks like visually. Most of his identity remains a secret but we do find out he is a big Man U fan. He is also more sympathetic to Leo. This is his first time going out and shooting someone and he realises just how real it is.

Must be able to do an Irish accent.

Figure 2- male- aged 20-50

Another member of the vigilant group who has come to shoot also. He is a lot harsher than the other member. He has done this multiple times and doesn’t want to here what Leo has to say. He has come to do a job and he won’t leave without it being accomplished. He is willing to turn against his own friend to get the job done for the cause. Again he will be wearing a balaclava so facially it’s not important what he looks like.

Must be able to do an Irish accent.

Further information: Although we cannot offer pay. We will cover any travel costs and provide some snacks and drinks when filming. It is also a great opportunity to calloborate, and we hope to enter the film into film festivals. So it will also help the actors involved to gain some exposure. Your names will be included in the credits and be given a copy of the film.
For any further information please do not hesitate to ask via the email I’ve provided. If you would like to audition please send a headshot and information about which role you will be auditioning for. I hope to hear back soon.

Thanks

Short film needs actors

I’m Leire Valle an exchange student form Spain. I’m studying in Staffordshire University. I’m currently working on my last year project. I’m filming a short film and I’m looking for actors.

I’m looking for two English women of about 30-50 years old, and other two women of about 50-70 years old. They don’t need to be exactly that years old, it could be people that look like or are good at acting as a woman of that age.

This short film is my Last Year Project for the Staffordshire University. As it is a student’s project we wouldn’t pay for the acting, but other expenses will be covered.

The short film is a kind of reflection of today’s society and how technology has affected us in a bad way. The actors don’t need to speak because it is going to be just some images with a voice over. Just one of them, whose voice is going to be recorded for the voice-over.

We would like to shoot it during the next two weeks but can listen to any suggestion. They are going to be just three days of shooting. Just one of them should be the three days, the other three just one or two. Everything is going to be shot in Stoke-on-Trent. Around the Staffordshire University and its surroundings.

We are going to listen a woman reading a letter that she is writing to her died husband, telling him how horrible her life has become in the last eight years because of technology. At the same time, we are going to see images of her daily life. Nothing is as it used to be when she was young. People are that involved in technology that have forgotten how real relationships work, the call friends people the have never been with. They are aware of what is happening around the world, however they don’t even notice about what is happening just around them because they can’t lift their eyes from their mobile phones even for a second.

My goal is to send a message to the people of something that is actually happening even if we are not aware.

Best regards,

Leire

Irish Startup Film Project

Hi There,

I’m writing as we’re looking to get in touch with some drama/film students who might be interested in working on a project for an Irish startup. We’re launching a new website in the coming days and we’re hoping to find some actors/filmmakers who would be interested in getting involved in filming an advert.

The plan is to create a 1/1:20minute minute video showcasing 3 parody products for the site. This would be a very simple shoot, but it might be a good opportunity for someone looking to build a portfolio.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch, and I look forward to hearing from you. danielle@girlcrew.com

Looking for Actors - Scottish Drama Groups

Looking for Actors - Scottish Drama Groups,

We are a team of two young filmmakers from Germany and will be shooting a documentary with some staged parts in Scotland.

We are mainly shooting in your famous distilleries, bars and castles.
It is a documentary about two young German entrepreneurs who founded the website www.tastillery.com and now go on travels to find the best spirits in each country.

We would LOVE to shoot some scenes that are more "directed" and staged and need some local Scottish actors. We are not looking for super professionals, we are more interessted in people that have fun playing/ acting.

Maybe local theatre actors or semi professional actors.

We would be so happy, if you could help us in this concern!

Thank you so much in advance and have a wonderful day!!

All the best from Munich,

Gerhard

Casting local acting/presenting talent in the North Staffordshire/South Cheshire region

I am looking to Audition for Live Broadcast Presenters, a little different than most of the roles I can see on your site however we are keen to find some excellent local talent for our online service as we aim to continue to be one of the most prominent (and best) local employers.

A bit about the role;

It is a Full Time Job – salary starts at £22,000 + 20% bonus (plus added incentives such as Healthcare and discount scheme).
The role will be based in Newcastle Under Lyme in our brand new broadcast studios. Currently on a 3 on, 3 off shift pattern.
Strictly aged 18 and over with energy, drive, enthusiasm and bags of personality.
With over 51 nationalities working in our business, we welcome applicants of all ethnicities and genders.

The programme consists of Casino programming, for one of the world's largest and most recognisable brands, as the face of our product, you will not only present the game and provide commentary, you will have the opportunity to interact with players.
You’ll have the freedom to build the conversation in your own areas of interest, whether it be about topics in the news/popular culture or your personal passions. However, you’ll also be intuitive, having the sixth-sense to know what your audience needs and keep them entertained. Aside from the presenting aspect to the role you will of course be working in a live online casino set, so you may need to provide explanations how the games work or provide guidance on any product related info.

Any inqueries or questions, can be directed to myself:

CALL OUT FOR ACTORS, WRITERS! 16+ (NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NESSECARY)

I am currently looking for people in Am Dram groups (to make it more a community feel) to take part in my final project for my Arts Award Qualification. (Actors and writers in the Derby/Derbyshire area prefered) more information is below.
Thank you, Alex Smith.

Here is some information about my final project for my Arts Award qualification I am studying for. I'm putting together a variety theatre week and I'm looking actors and writers of 16+ (parts for all) Rehearsals are every wednesday and Thursday (with one Friday) on every 1st and 3rd week of the month from October and the show is 1st Feb - 7th Feb 2019 Below is a brief outline of what I will be doing, is below I am looking for pieces of writing to be submitted so they can be performed by a group of actors. (If you are interested in acting aswell please say!) Please email any submission/interest to me at alexsmith1742@gmail.com please try to submit pieces that involve minimal props and stage scenery. If applying to be an actor please state your availabilty in your email.

I want to do a week long performance variety week with something happening each day for about 1 long performance (all submissions are open themed but each day has a type of genre of theatre to be performed.) Monday is called Moan-a-log Monday which is monologues, so they need to be written to address another character on stage. These can be between 2-7 minutes long. Then there is Turn it up Tuesday, this is a music night so no writing needed for that unless you are a musician who performs. Wired Wednesdays are radio plays/journalism/news/non fiction suitable for radio (but shall be adjusted slightly to be performed on a stage for the night by use of immersive theatre) If submitting a radio play no longer than half an hour. To you Thursday is silioquays so they differ from monologues in the fact that they are discussion/interaction with the audience only (again 2-7 minutes long). Fantasy Friday is fictional short stories. (Up to 10 pages long). Scene it Saturday is 5-15 minute long sketches/mini plays/improv and the like and finally Sonnet Sunday is for poetry, which can be up to 5 pages long (in any form, sonnets, rhymes, haiku's etc). You can submit as many things as you want and I shall be choosing which are to be performed through out the week.

Writing a ten minute play

Hello.

I'm a creative writing tutor and have just created a short online course on the teaching platform Udemy.

I thought my course – Writing a ten minute play would be of interest to your members. It covers writing plays as individuals or in groups that can go on to be performed.

It is a paid course with occasional periods of discount and I think a helpful outlet for those who have a good idea they want to develop or a project they want to run.

I'm happy to talk about my course and how it can help to improve writing skills and aid community projects. You can have a look at me if you follow this link.

Invitation to a very special workshop opportunity (a Boeing 747)

My company is running a very unique training operation on-board a Boeing 747 and we are looking for people to fill seats. Due to the timings of the event, there will be a 6 hour period whereby your drama group can run your own workshop for your own students and members on the aircraft. We don't mind if you act, dance, sing or just think that it would be a good video, photo or PR exercise! There will be an opportunity to act as extras (though this is not mandatory) and chance to take part in something straight out of Hollywood, including special effects.

The event will take place on the 11th & 12th August. This is relatively short notice, but there are no minimum number requirements to take part and the fee per head is low for a venue which would normally costs thousands to hire. We'd essentially like local drama groups to be able to benefit from this and run a class or workshop onbaord. This really is a case of "the more the merrier".

If this is something that may of interest to your organisation, please don't hesitate to contact me. We'd ideally like to get any expression of interest in reasonable time before the event.

Kind regards,

Cressrelles offer the One Act play "Jump Off" available as a free pdf file

Hi Friends,

Here’s another old play released as a free pdf format.

Jump Off by John Waterhouse is a “high” comedy in one act. This hugely popular play features two characters who meet on a high window ledge, ostensibly with the aim of committing suicide! This seems a strange subject for a comedy but the sparks that fly between Pauline and Aubrey as they “face up” to each other are hilarious. Mother, a Priest and and a Police Inspector all do their best to talk Pauline off the ledge. But all is not quite as it seems.

Pauline is in her late teens, whilst Aubrey is in his early twenties. The other three characters can be of any age over 40. Running time is approximately 40 minutes.

If you would like a pdf, please email me back. As always, your feedback is appreciated. Don’t forget to browse our full catalogue of one-act plays (available for free from our website www.cressrelles.co.uk) if you are looking for your next production. I am happy to help in any way I can.

Best wishes,

Character BIOS
[LINDA] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 22-27]
Linda is a cheeky but easily scared woman in her mid-twenties. She has a powerful imagination which works against her as her boyfriend forces her to watch a horror film, and as the story progresses she struggles to keep up her strong bravado.

[ERIK] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 22-27]
Erik is a playful and sarcastic man in his mid-twenties. He goes out of his way to tease his girlfriend with a glint in his eye but stays caring and affectionate at the same time. He’s not easily scared and uses this to his advantage against Linda.

Japanese Tv wants to hire actress to play as herself - 09018 Tv Tokyo

My name is Teo, I work for an italian company that provides location scouting and support for Japanese televisions filming in Europe.

I am representing a Japanese TV Network producing a travel program.

It is basically an hybrid between a Reality Show and a Tv advertisement. A small tv crew of 4 people travel around the world to introduce to the Japanese audience interesting people and places.

For the next episode, scheduled to be filmed in UK, the production would like to find and follow around a young and aspiring actress (between 20 and 30) for a couple of days, showing her daily life. We need essentially three scenes to shoot: In the place where she normally practices and does rehearsal with her amateur theater group, some filming in the city centre, and filming at her place. At her home we would need ideally to film her together with her family, otherwise with her boyfriend/husband.

To put it simply, I would need to hire an actress to play as herself.

Filming may take between one and three days, in late may. Compensation is 400 pounds per day.

If you are interested please send an email to teo@mmms.it and I will provide the rest of the details.

Looking for a Drama Group for Low Budget Videos

I am a singer songwriter/ storyteller looking for a drama group who is interested in making low budget videos to act out the lyrics to some of my songs. To start with the link below is a song from my next album which I think would make a very funny video.
www.nemojames.com/somebody-stole-my-hole

This is not my normal style but possible productions of future videos are included in the document found here:
www.nemojames.com/lyrics-for-videos.pdf

All I need is a lot of raw video footage which I can edit in my studio. No special equipment is required.
It doesn’t involve much commitment as filming could probably completed in a day or two as I can do the rest and there would be no dialogue. I will write a storyboard to work from but will welcome any input. For the future I am also happy to write songs around any production you are interested in making.

If you think you might be interested in this kind of project please contact me at nemo@nemojames.com

There are more details at my website www.nemojames.com

Casting for short film "Sylvia" in Norfolk

We are casting for a 60-70 year old female for a short film, “Sylvia” being filmed early April. The script is based on a true story and is a very moving and emotional story.

If you are interested in playing alongside other great actors please get in touch and I will send you the script!

Role Description: Linda is a young at heart Mother and Grandmother. She is white and plump in appearance. Shops at the market, not materialistic and loves a bargain. She hoards trinkets around the house for the kids to find. She was a bit of “girl” back in her youth, but now devotes all her attention on her only daughter, Sabrina. She is warm in character, positive and always see’s the best in people. Enjoys her cigarettes. A well-known community personality. Family is everything to her.

You will need to be available to film from 2nd-6th April and unfortunately as this is a self-funded project, we do not have the budget for full rates, sorry.

Many Thanks, Rachel

I'm producing a short, silent film with friends who all work in the tv/film industry. I work for Kudos Productions, creators of Broadchurch, Apple Tree Yard, The Tunnel etc... Jake Lancaster is the writer/director, he used to work for DNA Films - the creators of Trainspotting.

We also have a crew of about 6/7 members including a Director of Photography, a Choreographer, an assistant Director, Hair and Make-Up and a Producer.

We have completed one weekend of shooting which went really well, and we are now looking for a London based actor/amateur dramatic actor who is in his 60’s - 80’s, slim and preferably under 6ft.

If you think you know of anyone who would like to take part and have a credit in this film (which we are sending to multiple international film festivals) I would love to hear more from you. Sadly we are not in a financial position to pay actors or crew.

Volunteers to be a part of a NHS Falls Training Event Port Vale Football Club on 19 March at 5:30 to 8:30

I was wondering could anyone possibly help?

Staffordshire and SOT NHS Partnership Trust has a scheduled Falls Awareness Training Event at Port Vale Football Club on 19 March at 5:30 to 8:30 for Community District Nursing, Therapists and nursing students. With the introduction of this event we would really like to provide our staff with an interactive falls awareness training programme as a new way of learning. We would like to provide a scenario on stage where a person’s home is unsafe and they are unwell and need NHS intervention and treatment to remain in their home and to avoid a hospital admission.

We were wondering if there are any volunteer actors who would like to actively take part in this NHS training programme for our staff members. By a volunteer developing the scenario of a patient being unwell and falling as we believe this would be a really innovative way of training our staff members.

I really look forward to hearing from you

Kind Regards
Marie

Mother, a 45 year old woman from Leeds
The mother is shown through several past scenes within the film, which show the relationship she and Chris shared. The mother is understanding and gentle but whilst she is someone that helped keep the family together, she was also the main bread winner. The actor must be able to speak in a Yorkshire accent.
Females, aged 35 to 55 from United Kingdom
Acting experience: Previous unpaid speaking roles - Previous paid speaking roles

Father, a 50 year old man from Leeds
The father is grief stricken for the entirety of the story and is largely cared for by Luke. Towards the end of the film, Chris returns home and the two build a connection which they had struggled to form even before the mother’s death. This is a non speaking role, however, the emotions character are protrayed through body language in several scenes, especially with scenes interacting with Chris and Luke.
Males, aged 40 to 60 from United Kingdom
Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

Casting Call: Extras needed for filming 12th Feb

Hello,

I am writing from The Moment Content Company as we have an upcoming shoot on Monday 12th February in North West London that we are currently looking to cast extras for. We were wondering whether you know of anyone who would be interested in taking part?

We are looking for extras to make up a football crowd for our commercial piece which is being shot for a well-known brand. Usage on the film is still being confirmed but it is likely that the film will sit online and also appear in print media too.

If anyone is interested in taking part, please do send me an email.

Thanks,
Katie

CASTING CALL _ VOICE OVER ACTORS FOR 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL'

Hi I know this is an early one but I am looking to cast roles for 'A Christmas Carol'. I wondered if you would mind advertising this for me as it would be great to get some actors in this group involved. In order for you to audition however, you will need access to a home recording studio with a good mic.

I want as much time as possible to get this piece done to as near perfection as I can. This will be aired on my Radio Show in December 2018. We will be using a script from 1939 and that is the feel I want for the production, proper good old fashioned Radio Drama. The production was originally Narrated by Orson Wells and Scrooge was portrayed by Lionel Barrymore.

It will be a NON PAID ROLE for the actors, however full credit will be given at the start and end of the production which as I say will be aired on Radio.

I am taking auditions for all parts, which will be as follows:
Ebenezer Scrooge Old and young
Bob Cratchit
Child (Christmas Carol singer) can also play boy at the end to fetch Turkey
Fred (Scrooge's Nephew)
Gentleman (Collector for charity)
Ghost of Marley
Ghost of Christmas Past
Ghost of Christmas Present
Fezziwig (Scrooges old boss)
Belle (Scrooges old love interest)
Belles husband
generic girl
Mrs Cratchit
Martha Cratchit
Tiny Tim
Generic men x 2

Some of the parts may be able to be cast to one person i.e the charity collector may also play Belles husband for example. As long as the voice characterisation is slightly different.

If you are wishing to audition for a role please can you send the audition to garethsevern@yahoo.com by 1st February 2017. Can all audition pieces please be sent as either MP3 or WAV file clearly labelled with your name and character you wish to audition for i.e Gareth Severn - Fred.

For the audition purpose only please can you send the file as though it were a finished piece i.e VOCAL ONLY, REMOVE BACKGROUND NOISE etc. I wish to hear the quality of your recordings etc. I would also like the piece to be a few lines long not just a word or two.

At this moment in time I am not too worried what reading you send me, just as long as you voice it with the character you wish to audition for.

This will be produced by Studio Severn so if you have any enquiries please direct them to:

www.facebook.com/studiosevern7

I look forward to receiving your auditions.

Many thanks Gareth Severn

Casting Call for Short Film

My name is Jeff Donnelly, I am a final year film student at Griffith College Dublin. I am directing/producing a 15 minute short comedy film, filmed in Dublin, on 2nd, 3rd, 4th March 2018, and am looking for three roles to be cast in the film. If anyone would be interested, the story outline, character briefs, audtion and shooting dates are listed below. As this is a student film, it is unpaid.
Story Outline
A comedy, this 15 minute short film ‘Moonshine’ tells the story of Sharko and Will, two young men who are doing nothing with their lives. When they find themselves in a sticky situation, Sharko and Will must make their own moonshine for Sharko’s fierce aunt Big Kate, who is not someone to mess with.

Character Briefs
Sharko – Male, mid-twenties
Sharko is a bit of a slacker. Although he lacks any real direction in his life, he will happily put all his energy into stupid ideas. Likes to take risks.
Will – Male, Mid-twenties
Although no saint, Will has some sense on his shoulders. Does not like to take risks, but is easily swayed into doing things he doesn’t want to. Not a genius, but above average intelligence.
Big Kate – Female, 40s-50s
Sharko’s fierce, no nonsense aunt, Big Kate has a tough reputation. The owner of a ‘shady’ pub, Big Kate is known around town as someone not to mess with, or else. Her main focus in life is to make as much money as possible.

Audition Dates – 27th/28th Jan (at Griffith College Dublin)

Murder Mystery

Hi,
My name is Hayley Sutton.

I am a event's management student at Liverpool John Moores university, and during this academic year myself and others have to stage live events.

My group's idea is to produce a 1920s murder mystery night, for this to be successful we would need to have a live performance, of our story unraveling.

Our team name is eventcatchers, we are made up of 5 university students, at Liverpool John Moores. The event is being produced to raise money for YPAS (young persons advisory service) in Liverpool. So far my team and I have been able to acquire the venue for free, and caterers are willing to offer us a discounted price for their service.

The event will be held at Bridewell Studios. 101 Prescot Street, Liverpool L7 8UL.

Unfortunately any actors we will work with will not be paid, due to us raising money for charity.
The event will be held on Friday the 13th in April.

There is a facebook page for more information, titled event catchers. Any email enquirers can be made to eventcatchers75@gmail.com

Thank you for your help.

Many thanks,
Hayley Sutton.
