Call for Actor/Actresses 'Alan' Student Feature Film

Fee: Voluntary

Contact Sam Toller (st14727@my.bristol.ac.uk)

I'm planning to shoot a feature film on a shoestring budget over the summer. 'Alan' follows the title character, a 17 year old who feels like he's reached the peak of his life - a stunning girlfriend, great grades, the potential to go to Oxbridge and published writing - but now it's all falling apart around him. A coming of age film in the vein of Woody Allen, with a young yet weary protagonist whose niavety and idiocy seem to outgrow his intelligence and sensitivity. 

I plan to shoot in Bristol and London, mainly during June but also other times. The film focuses on the younger characters, but I will need a handful of older actors to play the adult roles, of which there are four or five. This is unpaid, as it is a passion project and anyone working on the film will be doing so out of a desire to put a great film together. For examples of my work, please visit vimeo.com/samtoller. 

If you have a playing age of over thirty (preferably over forty) and are interested in being cast in one of the roles (including a suave yet antagonistic proffessor, a comedic driving instructor, a realistic and pragmatic mother and an irritatingly proud dad) please send me a resume, headshot and any links you deem appropriate, and I will send over a script extract for you to read and record! 

Please feel free to ask any questions! I am also keen to get BAME performers involved in some of these roles, although dont let this put you off - I am very open to new portrayals of the characters I have written - I just want to see what people can do!

We are very keen to get some names from unexpected places, so even if this isn't for you, may be you know of or work with someone who you think might really benefit from this?

Actors wanted for 6 part web serial

Feather-Light And Paper-Thin is a 6 x 20min web-based serial tracking a young Healthcare Assistant who is attached to a cantankerous, curmudgeonly blind man. This man is an enigma - a puppetmaster, of sorts - and she soon realises that her working for him is no accident. She is there because of the misdealing of her best friend's brother, and it is not long before herself, her friend and the brother are ensnared in a web of multi-national intrigue, from which the only possible rescue can come from the most unlikely source. 

This is a nano-budget film, and will be unpaid. The first episode will be distributed freely. Subsequent episodes will be released on a pay-per-view model, probably at 99c, and any profit resulting, if there is any, will be shared between all cast and crew on a transparent and fair basis dependant on hours worked. 

The shoots will be on successive weekends, and we will shoot the episodes in pairs. It is imperative that cast and crew are able to commit to the whole project - there may be a gap of some months between shooting episodes 1 &2, and shooting 5 & 6. 

In the first instance, do get in touch; I'll send you the scripts of the first couple of episodes, and you can see whether it speaks to you or not. 

In particular, I'm looking to fill the following roles: 

Angela - late fifties - sister of Fenton Roth (the blind puppermaster) - early on, seems quite ditzy and naive 

DI Claire Moretti - late 30s/early 40s - disarmingly pleasant and affable, inner strength and perceptiveness 

DS Col Adams - early 30s - probably quite tall/big 

Kirsten Berg - arch antagonist - late 30s - actually Norwegian, though no accent - elegant, strong, ruthless 

However - if you're interested in the project but don't necessarily fit neatly into one of those roles, do get in touch. It would be great to hear from you, and nothing is set in stone yet.
