'QUITLINE' is a 5 minute short film which depicts a city controlled by a complete smoking ban. The city's 'Quitline' team spend their days enforcing this strict ban, and keeping the streets and the air clean. One man however can no longer control his incessant nicotine cravings, decides to challenge the 'Quitline' and gives into temptation. CHARACTERS: Quitline Militants- 2 Roles Aged late 20's to early 40's, both males and females welcome to apply. It's every young child's dream to be a Quitline militant. Like the Men in Black of the smoking world, their job is to keep the air clean and fresh for the rest of society by erasing the existence of those who are caught smoking. They spend their days patrolling the streets making sure everyone obeys the rules. If they find someone who doesn't, they'd better watch out. Dave Aged mid 20's Dave is a scruffy young guy who's keen to rebel against authority in any way he can. His nicotine cravings are getting the better of him and he can't take it any longer. He can't stand the way everyone else sticks to the rules and finally decides to challenge the dominance of the Quitline. The Dealer Male, aged mid to late 20's. The Dealer does whatever he can just to make ends meet. He works as a nicotine dealer in a society which condemns it, even though he's seen what the militants can do. ADDITIONAL INFO: If you would like to audition for any of these roles, please send your CV and headshot to the producer, Jade McMillan at quitlinefilm@hotmail.com. Previous acting experience is not essential, however please include a brief outline of any prior acting roles you have fulfilled. We are shooting on Sunday October 1st, and actors will only be required on set for one day.

Do you realise you're

Do you realise you're responding to an ad for Melbourne? Unless you are planning on a long car ride/plane ride... You're better off checking the auditions pages on this site in your own state. (On a side note - how do you remember wanting to be an actress since being two? That's a very good memory) The Prompt Copy Networking emerging theatre professionals www.thepromptcopy.com Sticky Apple Legs http://stickyapplelegs.artsblogs.com Puppets in Melbourne www.freewebs.com/puppetsinmelbourne
