Actors and Extras Auditions for Feature Length Film THE LAST BATTLE

First time film producer/writer Douglas Palmer of Big Papa Film Productions will audition actors and extras for his feature length film THE LAST BATTLE on Saturday, August 4, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the downtown Cincinnati public library (South building, third floor). The library is located on Vine Street, between Eighth and Ninth Streets.

Some roles have already been cast. Actors of all ages and ethnicities are welcome to audition.

The only “specific” looks are for the two actors who will play the young children (a boy and a girl) of the main character. They must look caucasian, appear to be between the ages of 11 and 13 and resemble (in some way) the petite, slightly-built blond actress who plays their mother and/or the 6-foot tall, sturdily-built, dark-haired actor who plays their father.

Please bring a headshot or a recent portrait photograph and an acting resume, if applicable. Actors will read from “sides”. “Sides” will not be available in advance. No prepared monologues are necessary.

Actors and extras in this film will be unpaid. They will receive film credit for their roles and will receive DVD copies of the finished film.

Some scenes in this story about a retired marine are expected to be filmed in the Greater Cincinnati area during the September-December 2012 period.

If you have questions about this audition, please call Doug Palmer’s assistant, Sheila Baker, at 513.607.1940.
