"BEADS" Student Feature Film Child Casting
We are looking for 4 different talented individuals who will play important roles in our upcoming feature film, "BEADS." Logline: Logan leaves his wife in Cuba in search of a better life in his hometown in the US, but his search ends up in deprivation -- until an unexpected encounter puts him at the helm of an innocent soul’s life. These children are all in symbolic and pivotal scenes in the film. There is very little dialogue in this film, so your physical acting is very important to us. If you submit an audition, please prepare the actions in the scripts attached below. Try to film to your best of abilities as the script states.
4 roles
Lili is Vika's (the main character) sister. Lili is featured in one scene in the film, revealing to the audience that Vika has a sister, showing that Lili is the one who made Vika's bracelet that she has worn the whole film. Lili loves Vika dearly but is unfazed by Vika running away and coming back so often, a surprisingly mature young child.
MUST SPEAK SPANISH The film flashes back in time numerous times, showing a young Julianna and how she was fed false assumptions about Logan by her mother, Maria. Young Julianna is very curious about her non-present father and wants to know everything about him. This actor will only be needed for a very short scene where she will have just one line.
Seen in a symbolic scene in the film, an older sister goofs off with her younger sibling in the street. Their mother takes a call as the older sister wanders—entirely physical, no dialogue. Optional but ideal: actual sister of the Younger Sibling role.
The younger sibling is in a symbolic scene in the film. They play with their older sister while their mother takes a call. Very quick scene, but it speaks a lot to the film's themes of adolescence. Optional but ideal: Sibling of Older Sister role.
