Casting Call for Short Film
A Point Park University student is producing a short film during the fall semester. Shooting will begin October and continue into early November. Shoots will be during the weekend and should take 2-3 weekends to complete. Auditions will be held in the early weeks of September. The film is about a man, Vic, that has to help his friend, Marty, keep a secret. Marty comes out of the closet to Vic on the golf course and needs him to entertain his secret lover for the day. This is an ABSURD comedy that follows two extremely different ways of life clashing. There are 3 main roles: VIC, late 30ʼs-early 40ʼs, strong tough country man that prides his reputation and material possessions, but must change his mindset and embrace humility to help a friend in need. MARTY, late 30ʼs-early 40ʼs, weaker man who canʼt stand up for himself all the time. Lives a secret life and depends on his friend to help him through it. SECRET LOVER, mid 20ʼs- early 40ʼs, an extremely absurd and flamboyant representation of a narrow-minded Americanʼs view of the homosexual community. Not afraid to be exciting and embrace himself. There are also many supporting roles that exist in this film: Father DelFeeni, the local priest. Bill, a Diner owner. Kathy, Vicʼs wife. Martyʼs wife. Scoutmaster, Boy Scout troop leader, early 50ʼs. The film will be shot using HD equipment and copies of the film will be provided to all cast members upon completion of the project.. Meals will also provided on set each day of filming.
