I'm looking for an actor and an actress to cast in a dramatic short film project that will shoot over two days during the first week or two of April.
The parts we're looking to fill are for the role of The Man - actor must be mid-late 30s or early 40s and able to give us a washed out blue collar Buffalonian look - and The Woman - who should be somewhere in her late 20's - mid 30's - and we're looking for a more "plastic" suburban type of pretty for the look of that role.
Those of you that are interested please message me directly for more details about the roles and the production in general.
