Actress Needed for "Mouse" - Student Film
This coming of age story. It explores themes of youth, grief and mortality. Looking for a female child ages 5-8 (or a child older who can play younger) that is able to access a wide depth of emotion for this role. There is not much dialogue and most of the script rests heavily on the actresses ability to translate emotions through expression. Filming two 6-8 hour days in late January. There are no audition materials to prepare ahead of time. Casting team would like to meet and chat with your child during an in person audition and do some imaginative exercises to see if they're a good fit for the role.
