🎬 CASTING CALL | ACTION!
A Feast Your Eyes Films Production
Action Comedy Spoof/ Proof of Concept
Feast Your Eyes Films is casting several roles for ACTION!, an independent action-comedy proof of concept intended to serve as the opening of a future feature film.
LOGLINE
When an intensely committed method actress is mistaken for a real federal agent and kidnapped during an independent film shoot, her director and his loyal production partner must turn their filmmaking equipment, and everything they’ve learned from making action movies, into the tools of an increasingly absurd rescue mission against the biggest crime boss in the city.
PROJECT
Genre: Action Comedy / Spoof
Filming Location: Louisiana, exact locations TBD
Shoot Dates: TBD
Production: Independent / Micro-Budget
Compensation: TBD based on role and final production budget. Meals, screen credit, and footage for reels will be provided.
Union Status: TBD
ACTION! is a straight-faced action spoof where absurdity is treated completely seriously. Big action-movie filmmaking collides with the realities of independent production. The comedy works because the characters never wink at the audience, while the action and cinematography are intended to be legitimately cinematic.
CASTING
MAYA / AGENT AVA CHEN | Female | Mid-to-Late 20s to Early 30s | Asian or Mixed Asian Descent | Principal
Maya is a warm, sincere actress whose commitment to method acting has gone catastrophically far. While portraying Agent Ava Chen, she remains completely in character through breaks, a real crime, a kidnapping, and increasingly dangerous circumstances. Agent Chen is controlled, intimidating, tactical, highly researched, and genuinely capable.
This role requires a strong dramatic performer with commanding screen presence and excellent straight-faced comedic instincts. Maya/Chen is heavily involved in the action and must convincingly carry herself as an action lead.
Stunt, martial arts, stage combat, dance, athletic, or other movement experience is strongly preferred but not required. Performer must be comfortable learning and safely executing choreographed action.
This is an especially important casting decision, as the selected performer may have the opportunity to continue as Maya/Agent Chen in the eventual feature-length production and impending spin offs.
CRIME BOSS | Male | 40s to 60s | Physically Imposing | Principal/Supporting
The biggest crime boss in the city. What does he do? Crime.
Looking for a very large, tall, powerful, or heavily built performer with an immediately intimidating physical presence. Think heavyweight fighter, massive bouncer, retired lineman, professional wrestler, or Kingpin-type silhouette. The role does not simply call for an older or heavyset man. He should look like somebody who could dominate a room before saying a word.
NERF GUY | Male | Adult | Featured Supporting Role
A member of the Crime Boss’s crew with strong comedic reaction work and dialogue. Looking for a grounded performer who can play absurd circumstances completely straight. Limited choreographed physical action.
DEBTOR | Male | Adult | Featured Speaking Role
A nervous criminal who owes the Crime Boss considerably more money than he currently possesses. Looking for a grounded dramatic performer capable of selling genuine fear and desperation. Role includes limited staged violence.
SAFETY OFFICER / FLAGGER | Any Gender | Adult | Featured Role
An extraordinarily serious safety professional who chooses perhaps the worst possible moment to enforce proper traffic procedure. Looking for strong deadpan comedic instincts and natural authority. Limited dialogue. Maximum commitment.
GOONS | Multiple Roles | Adults
Supporting and featured action roles working alongside the Crime Boss. Several roles involve chase, fight, kidnapping, and physical-comedy choreography.
Athletic performers and actors with stunt, martial arts, stage combat, wrestling, dance, or other movement experience are strongly encouraged to submit.
