Auditions for acting.
We are currently looking for actors for a short film titled 'FOR EMMA'.
The film is based on the life of Thomas Hardy.
'FOR EMMA' is based on the life of 19th century poet Thomas Hardy, who
had problems with his marriage. Using the poems of Hardy, the film
explores the fragility of relationships, and the importance of
reconciliation.
A range of actors are needed, as the roles are for characters at different stages of their lives.
Filming is at various locations, including mansions, churches,
waterfalls, horse driven carriages etc, and will involve a variety of
costumes.
Food and drink will be supplied on shoot days, and a DVD/showreel
provided. Local travel expenses will be paid, so London actors only
should apply.
This is a great opportunity for actors to work with a strong director
and creative team; the film is aimed at international film festivals.
Casting Breakdowns:
Johnathon - mid 50s, English, posh, frail, with distinctive signs of
ageing. His story is followed through a diary kept by his wife. He is
well spoken with a friendly demeanour, and holds himself well.
Young Johnathon - early 20s, West Country accent, he is still learning
Mid Johnathon - mid 30s, accent between West Country and well spoken. An
architect, he has recently begun to get a taste for a higher social
class. Well groomed, charming and very business like.
Older Johnathon - late 40s, a well spoken tone, looks after himself, and has an easy manner
Young Harriet - 18-20, from a middle class background, West Country but
well spoken. She has run away from home to be with Johnathon. Carefree
and passionate
Mid Harriet - mid 30s, posh, has become accustomed to life with Johnathon.
Old Harriet - late 40s, frail, she is angry and tired, yet is strong willed
Samuel Chedwick - mid 30s, posh accent, an aristocrat. A flirt, blinded
by vanity. His fun and persuasive attitude is the beginning of the
undoing of Johnathon’s marriage. Good natural timing.
Auditions are in early October.
