Melbourne actors needed for a short film

I am going to shoot a short at the start of October. The themes of the film are family relationships and primarily the effect of the lack of money and employment on the family.
There are still 2 parts to fill:

Michael - 17 yo, who is about to finish school. Loves his girlfriend, passionate about his mates, literature and his studies. He loves his parents but is hurt by their actions.

Mother - middle-aged woman. Loves her son and her husband and tries to do what's best for the family (in her mind). She is however passive in trying to solve the problems between Michael and his father.

All work is UNPAID. Everyone who is interested please e-mail me: vladyt063@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Ps about the mother character

It would be preferable (but not restricted) if the mother would have some sort of a non-australian accent. American, european, whatever.

too young

The only female character that is not cast yet is a middle-aged woman. I can't cast a 16 yo to play a mid-aged woman.

Re: Melbourne actors needed for a short film

The part has been filled. Thanks for the interest anyway.
Hint for the future - if a director leaves an e-mail address it's a good idea to respond by e-mail.
