Do you want to star in a movie? Here is a chance.

A new BET feature film will begin production in the Wilmington, NC area shortly and casting directors are seeking to fill some SPEAKING roles.

The project will begin filming next month and all submissions for the speaking parts that include the lead role may be done through an email submission process. At the moment they are requesting that actors interested send in a resume and headshot. If interested, you must apply ASAP because auditions will begin next week in Wilmington for those who producers choose from resumes and headshots.

There are parts available for different ages and ethnicities.

Casting directors are accepting online auditions from all over, however if you are cast in the project, you will need to re-locate to Wilmington temporarily for the filming.

The new film is about ROSE RICARD, a woman who has been given a very special gift by God — the ability to see the sin a person carries in their soul. While she uses her gift to, hopefully, rights the wrongs in society, she also knows the gift comes with a price tag
