Three Actors needed urgently

Crossed Wires

We are producing a short film clip (approx 8-10minutes). It is produced within the Media Study Course at Edith Cowan University in Mt. Lawley, and will provide the actors with exposure within the University and possibly Channel 31.

The story involves a husband (Steven) who avails himself regularly of phone sex, a phone-sex worker (Samantha) and Mary, Steven's wife, who is looking for work and answers an ad placed by Mary for extra staff. Eventually Steven get's his wife on the phone when he is looking for his "safe sex" diversion.

We intend to shoot the film "body style", with many very close shots, but no actual sex or nudity seen. Separate from the screen acting we like our actors to record about 6-10 minutes of phone sex conversation - this will act as a background sound to outside scenes.

We need three actors who are comfortable with this topic. As you would expect, looks and age are not important (except perhaps for Mary, who would not believable as an 18-year-old studentÂ…). Steven has not got too many lines of on-screen dialogue. Sam (Samantha) and Mary carry most of the dialogue.

The scenes with Steven will be shot on the 22. May (Tuesday), the scenes with Mary and Sam will be shot on the 15.May (Tuesday) and there are a number of outside shots with Mary which we will shoot on the 18.5 (Friday). We would like to rehearse with you sometime between the 9th and the 13th.

Please phone if you would like to be involved with a dedicated film team that aims to produce Oscar-winning work (in a few years), and a director which has attended the Annie Murtagh-Monks screen workshops and intends to apply her advice and the Stanislavski method to this little gem of a script. I am part of a second year Edith Cowan University Film and Television project. We are looking for four women aged from 20 to 40 to be in our next short film. Its about five minutes long and will provide you exposure within the university and the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, and possibly channel 31.

I am more than interested in being involved, and I have tried to contact you several times. I have left messages on your mobile phone but I have not heard back from you. If you are still looking for cast members feel free to return my calls on 0402 312 213.
