ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking a boy ages 9-13 for a new adaptation of the feature film "Youngblood". More details are below. About the project: Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Barrie Colts, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Bulldogs a significant win. As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter - who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the Eastern Final approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.

YOUNG DEAN YOUNGBLOODMale9-13 y.o.African-American

If talent are 13 they MUST look younger. Already skilled beyond the older boys, his gifts and athleticism stand out – but when a sucker bullies him into a fight, his dad rags on him for being ‘soft.’ His mom reminds him it’s okay to have emotions and that fighting isn’t always the answer; but soon she suffers an untimely sudden death. PRINCIPAL. TALENT MUST BE GOOD AT ICE-SKATING and PLAYING HOCKEY.
