VCA Film

ACTORS NEEDED URGENTLY

I am producing a 3rd Year Film Student: Andrew Kavanagh's VCA Graduating film: AFTER THE FORMAL. We are in DESPERATE need of actors to fill our production!

The film is of an experimental and highly atmospheric/moody nature, being filmed in slowmotion, over two shots and with everyone having an equally featured role as a guest at a high school formal.

It is also being shot on 16mm film (great for showreel, and rare as now everyone is shooting on digital).

The story is based at a high school formal and we need to cast both juniors (18+) and seniors (40+) to give the scenes a party/social atmosphere, I've attached the synopsis below this email, to give you a greater idea of the story.

I was hoping you would be interested in passing this onto your acting students who may be interested in this unique project!

Details of the shoot are as follows:

- Be dressed in formal attire (the film's is set in a municipal hall, all extras must be dressed as though they are attending a High School Formal)

About the play
This was possibly the first anti-war play to receive wide acclaim by critics and audience alike. First performed in 1962, "Oh, What a Lovely War!" conveys its message using sketches, song, humour and newspaper clippings, in an almost vaudevillian style. Its real heroes are revealed to be the 'cannon fodder' of The Great War, not the officer class.

Daisy Chain
Written by Alan Skinner and Eryn Skinner
Directed by Eryn Skinner
Only the innocent need to be redeemed ... the rest just need therapy

Pain, punishment and consequence; hope, love and death; notions of Hell and the difficulty of just getting life right, are all thrown into the pot. In the tradition of drama that challenges, Daisy Chain confronts our ideas and presents new perspectives for our scrutiny – never forgetting that humour is the best sugar for a intellectually challenging pill. In a re-telling of the Orpheus and Eurydice legend, a young couple are separated while on a picnic. The young man’s search for his missing friend leads him to a small, isolated village where nothing is quite what it seems to be. Or, then again, maybe it is. Structured in three acts around a cast of ten characters, the play draws on farce, comedy of manners, drawing room drama and even juggling. It yields up its fruit most easily in a traditional proscenium-arch style production, though its concentration on pace and language, and its Absurdist debt, make it suitable for almost any style of production. Daisy Chain will run at Theatre Works from 12th August until 21st August.

Cast List

Please note:  The roles of Dr Edwards and Max will be played by the same actor. Auditions will be held at Gasworks from 8th June until 11th June. Call-backs will be held at Gasworks on 13th June. Rehearsals will run from week starting 14th June until 8th August. Production will run at Theatre Works from 9th August until 22nd August. Daisy Chain is a profit-share production.

Please email expressions of interest and applications with CV, headshots and roles applying for to eryn.skinner@three.com.au.

TRUCE FILMS - MOCK COMMERCIAL

Hello!   mike@trucefilms.com


A handful of actors and actresses are required to assist for a few hours sometime in the next few weeks with a mock commercial we are presenting to a client of ours.

As a young enterprise, this our first foray into commercial advertising, though we have a client who is very excited to be working with us. What we are aiming to do is film a no-budget version of our very contained ideas so the client can see how the TVC plays out in its 15 second spot. This is our alternative, as opposed to storyboards or stills. The video will also be used for research with test audiences.

This opportunity is unpaid, though actors could look at this as a chance to get their faces known with an up-and-coming production house, to work with a terrific director – Nicholas Clifford (AFTRS graduate) and to audition for the actual part. We are anticipating employing the services of a casting agency, however we are more than open to finding our own talent if we think they sell the role.

We are looking two fill roles for two commercials for our client in the cosmetics industry:

CONCEPT#1
Woman mid 30s – Brunette – Busty
Male early 30s – Brunette – Ruggedly good looking.

CONCEPT#2
Woman late 20s, early 30s – Blonde – Fit
Male late 20s, early 30s – Brunette – Petite/Fit.

Headshots and any supporting material can be sent directly to myself (Michael Ciccone) at mike@trucefilms.com

Thank-you and enjoy your day!
