Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henrys paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says, Every family has its ups and downs, and this royal family is no exception.

Actor Needed for Film THE DARK ARTIST

MISC_Casting call2THE DARK ARTIST!
A Film by Cole Durham
Story by Maddy Jenkins

Synopsis- Jeremy a high school senior art prodigy is given a special project to complete by his art teacher Mr. Caractacus. When Jeremy opens the project folder, he finds out his teacher has a very odd style of art interest. Mr. C likes gory gruesome crime scene art. Once Jeremy does the project, he begins to find out why Mr. C likes these photos and the story begins to open and unravel.

Mr. Caractacus- Mid 20’s early 30’s bearded handsome man who comes across as very charismatic.

All we’re looking for is an actor for Mr. Caractacus. You will read from the script, no need to any preparation. Any help that may be offered for the film would be greatly appreciated as well.  This is a no pay film and it’s my first production.
