Actor auditions in Atlanta for speaking roles in feature independent movie “Evidence of Things Seen”
Metro-Atlanta actors (actors within driving distance) are ideal as our current budget will not support payment / reimbursement for transportation to and from metro-Atlanta or housing during our 3-day filming. However, actors outside of the area are welcome to apply but they should be able to incur housing or transportation costs.
NOTE: Outside of the Nathaniel, Father Troy and Sister Abigail roles, most talent would likely only be needed for one day of principal photography filming.
This is a non-paid, non-SAG, non-union gig. “Compensation” is a clip for your reel, meals and IMDB credit.
Logline: In the aftermath of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, a teen boy begins to question God and a priest begins to question his faith.
This project is currently slated to film in metro-Atlanta, Georgia in mid-October 2016.
CHARACTERS & DESCRIPTIONS
- NATHANIEL (lead) – African American male, 13, honor roll student
Director’s Note: The lead child actor playing Nathaniel HAS to carry the film. He has to be strong enough to portray the angst of a people without seeming bitter; have the gall to question religion without seeming blasphemous and brave enough to act opposite a veteran actor.
- FATHER TROY (lead) – White male, 40s (young looking), priest / headmaster of a Catholic School
Director’s Note: Father Benjamin Troy made tenure at St. Thomas Moore Catholic School in 1966, two years prior to when the story begins. He’s a tall, dark, handsome, relatively young priest that the staff adores. The feel that his youthful ideals offer a positive new direction. Father Troy takes pride in and believes that God’s word can continually offer solutions to this ever-changing world.
- MR. GOLDMAN (supporting) – Jewish male, 63, neighborhood convenience store owner
Director’s Note: Born in Russia, Joseph Goldman’s parents moved to New York in 1909, when he was four. They moved around for years but the family eventually settled in Atlanta when Joseph was a teen. That’s where Joseph’s father opened the family store, which Joseph has been running since his father’s retirement in 1935. An old familiar face in the community, Joseph is quick to offer his customers advice and a piece of candy; all while steadily looking for his glasses…that are hanging around his neck.
