We’re seeking background actors for the feature film MOSES THE BLACK. From church goers to party girls, prisoners to choir singers, we’re looking for Champaign County LOCALS to fill this film.

Synopsis: Set in real neighborhoods on Chicago’s West Side and shaped by community voices, Moses the Black is a gritty, raw redemption story —inspired by a 4th-century outlaw-turned-saint.
