Seeking a few good men...

*** Perth, W.A. ***

I am a final year Film and Video Uni student about to start filming a 10 minute drama (and what a drama it has been so far lol) and I need a bunch of older guys to act in it. So far I have had exactly NO responses from posters, and I am starting to get very nervous.

I am looking for guys in the 30 to 60 year range who would be interested in acting in a film, and who are available mid week for shoots of up to six hours.

There is NO dialogue, so you dont need to learn lines - it is all physical acting - boxing to be more precise. A boxing coach will be there to help you look good while you do it :)

What I really need is..

One over 50 year old (or looks over 50) to play a boxing referee. This is a fairly major role.

One huge 40 year old to play the first opponent (prefer not black haired) This is a semi major role.

these two positions are urgent - I can't start without them.

also

One large but not huge 30 year old to play the "star" at 30 yrs old. Should have some boxing skills, should be willing to have a temporary black hair dye applied, or be black haired. Will also aquire a drawn-on tattoo on the day :)

And any other guys who are interested, over, say 28 years old, who dont have black hair. I need in the realm of three to four big guys to play opponents. They would not be required for a long time on the day, as they would only be in about three to four shots maximum.

If you are interested in acting for the screen or have any ideas for me, I would be eternally greatful. My deadline for completion is the 5th of June, 2001, so if you are reading this after the 1st of June, I am probably already finished.

I can be contacted at
mailto:brite@iinet.net.au
or

Please leave a message if I am not available.

Thanks for your time.
