Dance comedy feature film “Step Sisters” is now filming in the Atlanta area and has released a casting call for quite a few featured roles.

Atlanta area casting directors with Catrett-Locke Casting (Rose Locke and Jamie Lynn Catrett) have released a casting notice for area locals who would like to work as paid background extras as well as Atlanta area talent to fill featured roles. The comedy will be in production during June and July and certain roles require a multiple day commitment. Please see the available list of roles below as well as the exact dates that talent will be working on set.

“Step Sisters” which was previously called “Ain’t No Half Steppin”  is being directed by Charles Stone (“Drumline”).  The Broad Green film project is being produced up by Matt Alvarez (Straight Outta Compton, the Ride Along franchise), alongside Lena Waithe (Dear White People) and Benjamin Cory Jones (Hand of God).

According to a story about the production in Variety, the cast includes Megalyn Echikunwoke (“90210” ), Lyndon Smith ( “Parenthood”), Gage Golightly (Amazon’s “Red Oaks,” MTV’s “Teen Wolf”), Alessandra Torresani (“The Big Bang Theory”), Marque Richardson (“Dear White People,” ), Eden Sher (“The Middle”),  Naturi Naughton (“Power,” “Notorious”) and Matt McGorry ( Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black,” ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder”).

The upcoming movie is described as a dance comedy that focuses on a group of college students.  Megalyn  Echikunwoke plays an ambitious, African American college girl, who, in order to get admitted to her desired  law school must cross cultural lines and agrees to teach the exclusive art of black Greek stepping to a band of wild, party-obsessed white sorority girls whose charter is about to be revoked.  “Step Sisters” is expected to hit movie theaters sometime in 2017.
