Actors needed for scriptwriting class- June 13
*This is for educational purposes only. Sorry, no compensation.
The Bellevue College SPRING 2011 Scriptwriting class have finished
their
scripts and are now in need of actors to come in and read them so the
students can see how the scripts actually "read". Actors may be asked
for their opinion as well.
This the the 3rd year running for the scriptwriting class to have
actors come and visit and it's been incredibly helpful for the
students; and the actors always have a great time!
DATE: Monday, June 13, 2011
TIME: 12:30pm- 2:30pm
LOCATION: Bellevue College Campus, Bellevue, WA
INSTRUCTOR: Academy Award winning director, Michael Korolenko
Each actor will be handed scenes that the scriptwriting students in
CMST 216 class have written this quarter. The instructor will give
the actors some slight direction and then let them read the roles so
the students can literally hear and see how their screenplays might
work.
BREAKDOWN:
2 Males (older and younger)
2 Females (older and younger)
Thanks to anyone who is available to help out!

Casting for a no-budget experimental independent feature "A Window". Seeking collaborative actors that are interested in improvisation, as we will be building layers of the story through rehearsal, analysis, and experimentation. This is a no pay gig but cast members will be compensated with a small stipend. The shoot dates are set for September 3-11. Half the days will be shot in Seattle and half will be shot around the Olympic Peninsula. This summer there will be extensive workshopping with cameras as we prepare for the shoot.

The Story:
Betty, a cloistered house wife, sedately spends her spare time watching the outside world from her living room window. Her neighbor Frank is an apartment maintenance worker that spends his spare time wandering the streets performing as a mime. A Window is about what happens when the lives of these two neighbors from very different worlds converge while Betty's husband is away on a business trip.
The Characters:
Betty - Female. Mid twenties to mid thirties. A cloistered stay at home wife. Domesticated. Longs for something exciting to happen in her life.

Casting for the short film, The MarQueen! (Paid)
The 30 minute short film, */The MarQueen/*, has five of it's nine
principle roles cast, and we're looking for the last four! These roles
will be paid positions. Production will take place in Seattle (mostly
Queen Anne). We're currently still looking for CURTIS, THE BLONDE, THE
BRUNETTE and THE REDHEAD.
*SYNOPSIS:*
_SHORT:_
The coincidence of a new girl and a pending audit at a
hotel/brothel threatens the foundations of the business
and the family that runs it.
_LONG:_
At the MarQueen, a man can get a clean bed, a complimentary
breakfast, premium cable channels and a hell
of a lay. Doubling as a brothel that specializes in fetishes,
this family business is headed by Vera, a matriarch
whose wit sharpens as the weight of the years bears down. No
longer a spring chicken, she has of late become
self-conscious of the two things that matter most to her: her
reign and her appeal. After her son fails to save
one of the girls from an overzealous client, a new girl is
recruited, whose crush on her son Curtis is seen as a
threat to Vera's dynastic mind. To make matters worse, the
family's accountant has caught wind of an approaching
audit of the hotel, and the once solid castle has begun to show
its cracks. These cracks, however, appear to
Curtis as green shoots. After all, his dad Henry the
maintenance guy is obsessed with the idea of him and Vera
retiring to his wife's homeland, Greece, leaving the kingdom to
their son and heir, an option Vera refuses to
consider. With the sudden arrival of Psydney, his future
queen, Curtis' usual ambivalence is transformed into
an unfamiliar sense of purpose as he for the first time
contemplates his impending reign, much to the distress of
Vera. As her grip on the business and herself loosens, Vera's
despair leads to a rash decision that sets in motion
events that will make her rethink the idea of retiring.
Based loosely on the Cupid and Psyche myth, /The Marqueen/ is a
linear narrative set over the course of a couple
of days, and explores how the perceptions of ourselves and
other can lead to outcomes as horrendous as they are
inevitable.

*REMAINING ROLES:*
(Please note that the roles of The Blonde, Redhead and Brunette may
possibly call for brief
nudity. Any nudity in the film will be presented in a tasteful
"portrait" style, and will not
be gratuitous. If someone is particularly strong for the role and
isn't comfortable, we're willing
to reconsider)
/ CURTIS/ -------------- Late 20s, early 30s; The son of Vera and
Henry. Physically imposing;
brooding; able to purvey
subtle emotional context.
/THE BLONDE/ ------ Late 20s, early 30s; leader of the pack. Poise
and look of someone who
has climbed the three rung
ladder of the group.
/THE REDHEAD/ ---- Late 20s, early 30s; follows The Blonde's lead with
veracity. Shorter than
The Blonde and a little bit
less attractive.
/THE BRUNETTE/ --- Late 20s to early 30s; a follower, but the wise one
in the group. Curvy, just
this side of pudgy. Mouth
breather.
*ROLES THAT HAVE BEEN CAST**:*
/VERA/ ---------------- 50s or 60s; The owner, the Madame. Greek or
Mediterranean features;
strong presence. Similar look
to Anjelica Houston, with a touch of
Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter).
/HENRY/ --------------- 50s or 60s; amiable, but with a screw loose;
meager to average build.
Sharp features, similar to
actor Dick Miller. Rambling mind and mouth,
may or may not be physically
crippled in some way.
/PSYDNEY/ ----------- Early to late 20s; the newest addition to the
brothel. Disarming in her
timidity and beauty. Fair
skin, fits the group but just barely. Something
sets her apart.
/MURRAY/ ------------ 50s or 60s; Vera's crooked accountant. Portly,
but not rotund; sleazy, but
not without a certain charm.
His personality is best represented by the
taxidermied cougar in his
'office'.
/ZORBA / --------------- 40s; gay; runs a nail salon, but reads palms
on the side to satisfy his quasi-
mystical nature. Comic but
not caricature.
*Thank you!* We're very excited for this project and look forward to
seeing Seattle's acting talent!
