A student feature film seeking actors

We are looking for two main male actors, in their late teens to early twenties, as well as some minor roles for a student feature film production that will be filmed in Seattle for 20 days between late March and mid-May.

We require that you prepare a monologue of your choice and a side reading, which will be provided to you upon emailing us.

Open auditions will be on Saturday, February 26th from 12-3pm.
Call backs are the following day on Sunday, February 27th from 12-3pm.

The location will be sent to you once you email us.

Here’s a film synopsis and character breakdown:

“Blackhat” is a feature film that will be produced by the students of the University of Washington. It is a Story of a young man (College Undergrad) who, being an involved member of this generation, falls into the world of technological addiction, dependency on electronics, and eventual computer hacking. As he delves into the computer driven world, he finds himself conflicted between two realities: technological and natural. This confusion is brought about by the love interest of a girl who is driven by natural beauty, and is not familiar with the central protagonist’s other self (the hacker). She shows him the beauty of social interaction, living free, and being a present part of society. The world is visceral, light, and colorful when he is with her, but can he manage the two realities?

Character breakdown:

Principal roles:

David– Around18-22 years-old, any ethnicity. A Somewhat plain, genuine person, excited about becoming a man and growing and developing a personality of his own. Falls in love with Saren, and gets involved in underground hacking under the mentorship of Jason.
Jason – Around 19-23 years-old, any ethnicity. Jason sways with arrogance, confidence, and intelligence; likewise, he’s a cool-minded guy that only becomes frustrated or angry when he is opposed or debated. He’s a leader and the most persuasive character in the life of David throughout the plot. He will mold David into the hacker he wants him to be. He polarizes everything Saren is.

Minor roles:

Mother – In her 40s-50s, any ethnicity. She’s David’s mother. She’s very attached to her son.

Ben- Around 22-25 years-old, any ethnicity. He’s Saren's friend that is two years older. He has a little place with Matt, and hosts a couple of parties and invites Saren to. David, in turn attends by Saren's invitation.

Matt- Around 20-25 years-old, any ethnicity. He’s Ben’s housemate. He has a little thing with Tricia.

Unfortunately because this is a student film there will not be any monetary compensation, but food will be provided and actors/extras will receive credit and a copy of the finished work.
