Hi all, My name is Mei and I am co-producing a short film called "Julian". Our crew are final year Film and Television students at the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane and are making this film as part of our final year production. You'll be working with an experienced student crew that comprises several up and coming undergraduates, recognized by industry personel. Here's a synopsis for your reading pleasure :) “JULIAN” “There is something so powerful yet frightening about a blank page. It represents infinite possibilities; a gateway into the soup of ones knowledge, stories, experiences, imagination and feelings. However great success is rivalled with the potential of great failure…” – Tom Noakes It is London 1946 in a town recovering from post-war depression. Julian is the proud owner of an established bookstore in the downtown suburbs. Despite his literary background and situation, Julian is an ingenious inventor. His latest peculiarity is a camera that can transform a living thing into a narrative biography. With a sinister taste for fame and fortune he decides to test the camera on Eloise. If all the children around the world were vanilla milkshakes, Eloise would be a short black coffee. She has adopted a pessimistic view of the world after her parent’s death in the war. Now homeless and uneducated, Eloise spends her time in bookstores where she endeavours to teach herself to read and write with the hopes of one day becoming a famous author. One day whilst browsing Julian’s bookstore Eloise accepts an invitation that promises fame, fortune and a writing career. It is only through lies and deceit that an unlikely friendship blossoms. However a tragic ending where Eloise is transformed into a novel with no hopes of return stresses to Julian the importance of friends over fame and fortune. Shooting dates: From the 11th to the 18th of September. Casting auditions: 26th of June at QUT Kelvin Grove. (Dates and times are tentative) We are mainly looking for: Eloise - 10-15 yr old girl Pale, Black longish hair Skinny Round face Large lips Blue eyes (hopefully, otherwise green, then or brown and or black) Julian - 40-50 yr old male Pale.olivey skin Dark golden/blond scruffy medium hair (leanient to longish)hair Blue eyes (hopefully, otherwise green, then or brown and or black) Medium build (leanient towards skinny) Squarish face. The script is being redrafted atm so I'll pass it on to whoever contacts me when the final one reaches me. If you are interested, please email me at meilee101@gmail.com . Thank you! Regards, Mei
