AUSTIN:   Male Aged 35 - 45 Austin is Dusty's father, a WW2 fighter pilot, now the manager of the town's coal mine, seen when Dusty and Ry sneak into the town pub. He hands over the beer for the boys to sip when Bull enters and pulls his son outside. We see the same optimism as Dusty and also the support and encouragement he gives his son, in contrast to Ry’s father.

Bull:  Male aged 35 – 50 is Ry's father, a recently retrenched coal miner who deeply disapproves of his son's behavior and his best friend Dusty. He tries to keep the best friends apart, but to no avail. At the end of the film, Bull shows his more vulnerable side by admitting his concerns for his son's safety and future.

Charlie:   Aged 11 is dirt poor and follows Ry and Dusty around like a puppy dog because they are his heros. They are the first people to treat him with any real respect and take care and responsibility of him like fathers.

Dusty:   Aged 14 is charismatic, outgoing, gutsy and a born daredevil. The kind of person you know is destined for greatness because they will not admit the constraints of the world or the odds against them. He supports his best friend Ry, but also gets him into trouble. His fearlessness and strongly held belief that he is unable to die because he is destined to be 'The Greatest Man In The World' almost leads to his death, but by miracle he survives.

Ry:   Male 12 – 16 is shy and practical. He hopes to escape the confines of his small town and his bullying father. He suffers from a debilitating fear of heights and always takes a back seat to his best friend Dusty. Ry begins the film suffering a debilitating fear of heights and always taking a backseat to his best friend Dusty but in the final moments of the film, chooses to overcome his fears and doubts and to save the life of his best friend, finding the hero within.

Shooter:   Aged 14 is jealous of Ry and Dusty's deep friendship and popularity within his small town and has found his place as the town bully. At the end of the film he challenges Dusty to a final dare which almost kills him. Faced with the repercussions of his actions it is certain that he undergoes a significant change at the end of the film for the better.

Sue:   30 – 45 she is Ry's mother. She provides Ry with support and encourages him to ignore his father and do what his heart tells him. Telling her son, that he never let anybody tell him what to do when he was young, and he should stay that way when he is older.

Woody:  A tombish girl (12 – 16)  who arranges and organised the daredevil feats for Ry and Dusty. At the end of the film, she performs the life saving miracle that will ensure Dusty lives after his final dare.

SUPERHERO TV SHOW

Show premise: A country boy moonlights as a superhero, while struggling with his developing dependence on the drugs behind his newfound abilities.

This half-hour drama follows Ryan, new to the city and completely unfamiliar with drug culture. After accidentally taking a party drug, he temporarily gains super-strength, super-speed, and super-senses...which he uses to combat the drug dealers of Melbourne.

The role being auditioned is Michelle, his best friend and only confidante. Michelle is a party girl, working in the same call-centre as Ryan and training to be a nurse. Michelle introduces Ryan to her dealer (and ex) and over the course of the series, a love triangle starts to develop.

The successful applicant will be 18-25, bubbly and friendly, and comfortable with potentially dark subject matter. 

The pilot will be shot in Melbourne in January, and released online to raise funding for a full season to be shot later in the year. The season will be distributed both online and on Channel 31, and is a great opportunity to be seen locally, nationally and world-wide, and will be a valuable addition to any showreel or cv.

Actors out-of-pocket expenses will be covered, and food will be provided on set. Filming will take place in early January.

If you're interested in being involved in the project, please email subconscious.ben@gmail.com with your best contact phone number, your CV and headshot, and a paragraph addressing the following:

"Why would Michelle, popular and happy, training to be a nurse, take recreational drugs?"

We look forward to hearing from you.

-Peter C. Hayward and Ben Smith,

VCA POST GRADUATE STUDENT FILM

 

Actors and extra required for short film set in the late 1940s in a billiards hall.

 

Wall Flower is an 8 min film to be shot on 16mm on location in Melbourne.

It is a low budget student film that will be well catered and professionally run.

 

Synopsis:

In the aftermath of WW2, Jeanie a talented but solitary teenage girl struggles to find a place to belong.  Living above the hotel she works in, her daily life is suffocated with an endless list of chores. She has a secret ambition to play snooker in the exclusively male world in the public bar of the hotel. Her opportunity arises out of a challenge designed to intimidate her. Jeanie must decide if she will take the risk, and step up to the challenge. Or retreat to the safety of the kitchen and her world of domestic chores.

 

Extras:

We are on the hunt for extras to fill out the world of the late 1940s pool hall/hotel scene. If you can play pool, that would be a plus, but not necessary. The environment is working class, so I’m imagining a motley crew of tough looking battlers, all shapes sizes and ages.

Ages 18 - 60ish.

There are some minor speaking roles available also, for characters in these scenes.

 

Shoot dates are 22, 23, 24 Sept. You may not be required on set for the entire 3 days, it is most likely that you will be required for 1 days work only.

 

For more information, or a copy of the script please contact Sophia Di Venuto - stryx7@yahoo.com

HOLLOW MEN

VCA Postgraduate Short Film

CASTING CALL

 

 ‘Hollow Men’ explores the emotional negotiation of a one-night stand between two men. Both men want the same thing, long for the same connection, but struggle against their own insecurities and socialisation to find it. The film aims to be a contemporary snapshot of where Aussie gay men are on the issue of single-serve love and their desire for more. 

The film is suited to brave actors who are looking to push boundaries. The challenging content calls for actors to explore emotional and physical intimacy. Nudity in the role is not essential but open for discussion.

The shoot is currently scheduled to take place over two nights: Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of September in inner northern Melbourne. The film will be shot on 16mm film and will be 7 minutes in length.

 

We are able to offer our cast deferred payment for the production. It will be a professional and enjoyable experience for everyone involved, and our cast will be extremely well looked after.

The film is well-placed to feature in niche film festivals around the world. 

 

OWEN:

Male, Mid to Late 20s

Skinny, not conventionally good-looking, yet still attractive.

Owen has a piercing intensity. He is vivacious and strong with a bold personality. His boldness, however, guards his more vulnerable and overly-sensitive side.

 

DAVID:

Male, Early to Mid 30s

A worn hipster. David has dark features, a scruffy unshaven face, and a generally untidy appearance. He used to be in shape but is beginning to put on weight. Despite this, he is still appealing and has a very sharp charm. David is unafraid of his vulnerability and appears to be soft and romantic despite his masculine appearance. He is unafraid of physical intimacy.

 

Please contact Producer, Alexander Edwards with an expression of interest and you will be sent further information regarding the film along with a suitable audition time.

 

Casting call ends 8th August, 2011.

Mill Boys

 

The Mill Boys is a stage version of the Vogel-nominated work '11 months in Bunbury' by James Ricks. The play tells the story of a group of sawmill workers in WA and, particularly, the struggle against individuality and intellectual expression in the world of the sawmill. It is a story about the desire to make something of one’s life while trying not to lose hope as the world seems to close in.

 

Jim was captain of the football team and dreamed of a celebrated academic career but now, several years out of high-school, he finds himself working a dead-end job that strips the skin from his hands and the hope from his soul. He knows something is going to break and it's either going to free him or send him down.Nelson doesn't care about intellectual things at all. In fact he doesn't care about anyone or anything which is why he keeps getting fired and beat up until he finds the chance to change when he meets an older woman and one final chance to make something of himself as he learns that going along with the crows gets you places. While Jim and Nelson work side by side they don't know that their luck and ambitions are hurtling them on a collision course into conflict that could make or break their future.

 

The production has brought together playwright Joel Beasant:

Who has put on shows at the Newtown Theatre, and who has staged large festival and theatre events with the Aboriginal community in Sydney including the ‘Rock the Block’ festivals in Redfern and as a contributor to Rekonzile at the Seymour Theatre (Sydney)

 

And producer Jessi Lewis: 

Who has been regularly producing for cabaret and transgender shows in Melbourne and around Australia over the past several years.

"Because the World Needs Unicorns"

A UNIQUE PROJECT

for one night only!

 

Intrigued? Read on...

 

Award-winning Melbourne company requires actors for amazing new work!

 

50 x performers

1 x carpark

4 x hours

 

Uncle Semolina (& friends) (makers of Ticky Tacky, Gilgamesh and OT ) present their newest work, Peter and the Wolf.

This show is inspired by invisible networks, radical social theories of group dynamics, the essays of David Foster Wallace, bad dance steps, and flat pack instruction manuals. A story about a wolf, a wall, a gate and talking animal friends becomes a metaphor for how we are enmeshed within systems bigger than ourselves.

 

For one night only, over four hours, in an underground car park, with an audience that comes and goes, 50 performers will tell and re-tell the story of Peter and the Wolf, working from a matrix of stimuli, building and dissolving groups and playing spaces. A tiny, delicate moment between just you and one actor is destroyed by the deafening roar of a crazed crowd.

 

What we need from you:

 

So far 30 actors from around Melbourne have registered for this amazing, one-off event – but they want more!

 

For more details ...

 

When: the date of the show is Saturday October 2nd.

 

Workshop dates: The first workshop has been held, but there is one more this Sunday September 26th from 2.30pm-5pm

 

Any further questions email: wolfquestions@http://www.facebook.com/l/ded70ko4rK2AdmM4O7vHpdLZZdw;unclesemolina.com

 

Otherwise REGISTER NOW by emailing thewolf@http://www.facebook.com/l/ded70ko4rK2AdmM4O7vHpdLZZdw;unclesemolina.com

About the play
This was possibly the first anti-war play to receive wide acclaim by critics and audience alike.

CHARACTERS
This is very much an ensemble piece.  Everyone will be playing a variety of roles such as soldiers of various nationalities, politicians, nurses, suffragettes, factory workers, high society ladies, business men of different nationalities, Music Hall entertainers, singers and dancers. The scenes follow in quick succession.

Various accents will be required:  English regional, Scottish, Irish, American, French, German, Russian.

Daisy Chain
Written by Alan Skinner and Eryn Skinner
Directed by Eryn Skinner
Only the innocent need to be redeemed ... the rest just need therapy

Pain, punishment and consequence; hope, love and death; notions of Hell and the difficulty of just getting life right, are all thrown into the pot. In the tradition of drama that challenges, Daisy Chain confronts our ideas and presents new perspectives for our scrutiny – never forgetting that humour is the best sugar for a intellectually challenging pill.
In a re-telling of the Orpheus and Eurydice legend, a young couple are separated while on a picnic. The young man’s search for his missing friend leads him to a small, isolated village where nothing is quite what it seems to be. Or, then again, maybe it is.
Structured in three acts around a cast of ten characters, the play draws on farce, comedy of manners, drawing room drama and even juggling. It yields up its fruit most easily in a traditional proscenium-arch style production, though its concentration on pace and language, and its Absurdist debt, make it suitable for almost any style of production.

Daisy Chain will run at Theatre Works from 12th August until 21st August.

Cast List

Toby

A serious young man, 20-ish. Practical, logical, even-tempered and good-natured. Rather quiet.

Sarah

An effervescent young woman, 20-ish. Blonde, flighty, effervescent, very modern; believes in everything that a person with conscience should believe in. Talks a lot.

Amelia

A woman, 30-ish. Always calm, but always gives off a sense of confidence and assurance. Firm but never harsh.

Ben

A shopkeeper, middle aged. Not terribly well-spoken. Taciturn, often cynical but not mean.

Cail

A young boy, aged 12. Very self-assured and well-spoken; an adult in a pubescent body. There is always an underlying mischievousness about him. (Juggling skills an advantage.)

Deirdre

A woman, middle aged. Typical middle-class, conservative matron. Brusque, no-nonsense air about her. A reserved exterior that occasionally cracks to show something softer beneath. (Must be confident on a bicycle.)

Dr Edwards

A doctor, mid-30s. Earnest and serious but friendly. Energetic, with a touch of the absent-minded professional about him. The type who always seems to need a mother or partner to make sure he puts on his cardigan when he goes out. (Juggling skills an advantage.)

Max

A middle-aged, gruff, hard man. Once was probably very fit but now a bit flabby but he doesn’t realise it. His attitude makes it seem as if he always has a scowl on his face even when he’s smiling.

First technician

Between 25 and 50. Abrupt, officious and clinical with a single purpose. Has an inflated sense of own importance. Speaks quickly, the words almost clipped, but always precise. (Great ball handling skills.)

Second technician

Between 25 and 50. Abrupt, officious and clinical with a single purpose. Has an inflated sense of own importance. Speaks quickly, the words almost clipped, but always precise. (Great ball handling skills.)

Please note:  The roles of Dr Edwards and Max will be played by the same actor.
Auditions will be held at Gasworks from 8th June until 11th June.
Call-backs will be held at Gasworks on 13th June.
Rehearsals will run from week starting 14th June until 8th August.
Production will run at Theatre Works from 9th August until 22nd August.

 Katieland


A wonderfully written short film written by Award winning NZ based creative Pete Force.

Directed by Jeremy Brett. Film is being made with international film festivals in mind.

Synopsis -

We all lose things - from time-to-time we can even lose ourselves. Katie Colvin wakes up in a strange room surrounded by everything she's ever lost. It's a surreal place with no windows or doors and she soon discovers she's not alone.

In the room with her, squeezed into one of her old frocks is a very confused boy. Who is he? How did they both get there? And can they ever escape?

Katieland is a thought-provoking short film about loss, the past and what our possessions mean to us.

Two leads -
A boy aged between 8 to 11
A female aged between 27 and 37 - must have experience

Currently a non-paid position.

Shooting in Melbourne around end of June early July. Auditions being held over April/May.
