"Two Brothers" Audition info.

VIDEO AUDITIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY Tuesday, June 9, 2009.

Olive Tree Productions is casting "Two Brothers" a grad film for Pasadena Art Center College of Design to be shot on Red One. Olivier Agostini, dir.; Tracie Snyder, prod.

This film is being shot by an award winning student director along with an award winning director of photography and promises to be an amazing experience! Tentative dates for shooting are during the week of July 13-19th but are subject to change.

Needed are 3 Male roles in a 10 page script. Because many of the scenes plan on being filmed in one long take, the actors must be comfortable with long monologues -  if you have theatre experience, it's a plus. Also, must be comfortable shooting firearms and wearing live-squibs.

Characters

Pop: mid-late 40s, a rough, ragged man with a weathered face, obvious he's spent most of his life outdoors, working with his hands. Strong and menacing stature. This position is PAID.

Bud: 16-20, simple-minded, solitary boy who loves working on the family farm. Although he seems "simple", he's got a rather dark side just waiting to surface.

Walt: 18-24, smart, stubborn, has always resented his father, carries somewhat of a chip on his shoulder but it too much of a coward to do anything about it.

To AUDITION, please complete a VIDEO Audition which includes the following:

(1) Slate your NAME, AGE, ROLE, and AGENCY at the beginning.

(2) Please include no more than 2 takes of enclosed SIDE. (We recommend memorizing this and giving your BEST possible performance. Your acting ability is EXTREMELY important.)
