Sorry if i have posted in the wrong forum but I am desperate for talented actors.

For those who remember me the last role I played was Zack in the LAST SUPPER, directed by Leah Maher for Blak Yak in 2000.

Last year our film 'Match BOX' made the finals for Tropfest 2002, http://tropfest.com. We are back for another shot at this years event which we are confident in getting another place. Last years event was publicised nation wide with 95, 000 people gathering live at the Domain in Sydney to view the showcase. Unfortunately we do not have a budget for actors BUT this event is a great opportunity for any actor wishing to get some serious exposure.

Our main goal last year, and will be this year is to attract some attention to West Australia and show the Nation that West Australia Film Makers and Talent have a lot to offer the film industry in Australia.

Again this year we are shooting on 16mm format. The shoot is scheduled on the 13,14,15,16th December 2002. Please only talent who are able to make the shoot apply for auditions.

We are casting on 23rd November 2002.

In addition, we have also been successful with a FILMX Grant, and are also scouting for roles for that production at the same time.
