Casting calls for upcoming film “Dr. Bird” in Atlanta.
The teen oriented, coming of age novel “Dr. Bird’s Advice for Sad Poets” is being made into a movie and the film is now in production. Atlanta’s Central Casting has been releasing casting notices to fill many small, non-speaking roles in the picture and Atlanta area locals are able to get in the act, so to speak, by trying out for an extras role.
Not much info is yet available for the movie and the IMDB page still states that the project is in development.
From the book description:
“I hate myself but I love Walt Whitman, the kook. Always positive. I need to be more positive, so I wake myself up every morning with a song of myself.”
Sixteen-year-old James Whitman has been yawping (à la Whitman) at his abusive father ever since he kicked his beloved older sister, Jorie, out of the house. James’s painful struggle with anxiety and depression—along with his ongoing quest to understand what led to his self-destructive sister’s exile—make for a heart-rending read, but his wild, exuberant Whitmanization of the world and keen sense of humor keep this emotionally charged debut novel buoyant.
