MISC_Casting call2My name is Nicholas Klein. If interested, contact kleinnl@mail.uc.edu.
I am a Electronic Media Communication major at the UC Blue Ash college. I am currently in Pre-Production Planning and I am looking for actor’s for my video project.The video project is called ‘Printing Troubles’ and it is about Mike, a middle aged white collar worker who is having trouble printing off the final page of his report due in a few hours. I currently have 3 character’s that I need to fill for my project, and they are:

  • Mike – a 30 year old male office worker
  • A female secretary, 30 years of age,
  • The boss of Mike , male, who is never seen and is only heard over the phone

I would like to get the word out about my project, so that I can get actors by the beginning of next semester. My timeline for the project will be about a 4 week production shoot and I will be attaching a production schedule that I have created for my project.

Thank you for your time and consideration regarding this matter.

Sincerely;
Nicholas Klein
UCBA E-Media Student

MISC_Casting call2Hello, my name is Zach McClure. I am a student from the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash campus and I am looking for at least 2 male and 1 female actors for my short narrative project How Much Longer?

The story involves Jack, a socially awkward male in his mid-twenties, telling his story of how he successfully managed to be in relationship with a woman named Sherry, early to mid twenties, that he met online but then lost it suddenly when he had the plan to have sex with her the first time they met in person to his best and supportive friend Eric, mid to late twenties.

As for when I am planning to shoot this, I’m looking at the dates of…

Principal Photography
December 26th – January 4th

Possible Reshoots
January 9th – 22nd

I will go ahead and include a copy of the script for further information on the story. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact me at any of the sources listed below.

Thank you for your time,

MISC_Casting call2Hello, My name is Sam Haboush. I am a current E-Media student of UCBA. samhaboush@gmail.com

I am working on my degree project to earn my Associates degree. My project is a short narrative post apocalyptic film. At this point, all I can offer is food on the days of shooting, have them credited, a copy for their reel and they can use me as a reference. I do not need much as far as actors. I would say 3-5 solders or athletic medium to taller frame (able to run) these will be the antagonists and then 1 athletic protagonist and also the wife of the protagonist and a young child to play as their child.

The short film is loosely based on the short story from 1924 entitled “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell.
