Description:

Kid actors auditioning for the short film "Catching Girls". See the details below! ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A family escapes Germany at the rise of Nazi power in Germany, they immigrate to Tel Aviv where one of the daughters blossoms into a beautiful and ambitious young woman. She meets a British officer and marries in order to flourish, see the world and help her family. Two husbands later, she meets a handsome young man on a ship. He is a student at Cambridge, a poet, and they fall in love. She starts an affair that takes her to the Burma with her new entrenchment, where he is hired to teach. They eventually marry. Back in London, this young woman is bored with stability and embarks on an affair with a married English poet. This goes on for a while, she becomes pregnant and loses the baby. The cause of this affair is the demise of the fragile but feisty (also acclaimed poet) wife of the poet, who struggles for self-worth in the face of this public humiliation. It ends with the tragic loss of life for the poet's wife and 6 years later, the same tragedy for this lonely, wandering woman who always felt an exile, and failed to secure love. Rate: No Pay. Additional info: It would be amazing if the actor could come prepared with a dialogue in character: remember, this is Germany of the 1930s. If not, the directors can provide sides, but the sides are very brief as this is a trailer. There is a feature planned, following the trailer. Zoom auditions and follow-ups. Rehearsals Begin: TBD Run/Shoot: TBD If you are interested, please apply.
