Details
We are looking for strong minded, creative and confident character actors. I will be looking to do so through improv based auditions, essentially using it as a casting process to find suitable actors that work well through improvisation. We will be holding casting calls in central Manchester over the next week or so.

The film is set in North Manchester and is about the plight of a young boy trying to escape the constraints of his life. Set on the day of the young mans sixteenth birthday, the films journeys through his existence and explores his surroundings. It deals not so much with the source of the problems but rather tries to take a deeper look at how they can affect people and ways in which they are dealt with.

This will be the beginning of a casting process, with the end goal to form a crew of willing and suitable actors for the film. The film will begin shooting at the end of March (20th till the 25th), and will be a vital addition to any actors showreel. The next set of casting call auditions will be held this coming week and the one after in a studio space in central Manchester. So please contact soon as possible an we can arrange a audition time.

Benefits: Copy of film supplied, Showreel material, Food provided/allowance (expenses), Travel provided/allowance (expenses), Accommodation provided/allowance (expenses), Invite to screening, Wrap party, Regular updates about film's progress, Food provided/allowance (expenses)

He will carry the film through his performance so will need to be a talented actor. Preferably a experience in improvisation, but not essential, as we can work with them on their skills and are more interested in a suitable actor aesthetically.

The characters ethnicity is not hugely important, although a white or mixed race character has been envisioned due to the area the film is set in. His casting age will be approximately from 13 - 16, but we are looking for a particular type of boy so the look is most important.
