Three Actors Needed for Scene

Looking for 3 actors to cast in a Columbia College Chicago directing class scene. I'm a graduate film student and I have to do a scene from "Odds Against Tomorrow," a movie that came out in 1959. The story deals with racism and a robbery plan. The scene itself addresses the issues of racism at the time. The location of the movie is NYC. 

I have to present the scene twice, once on Nov. 4th and again on Nov. 16th. I would like to rehearse twice before the 1st performance (two 1hr rehearsals) and again twice between performances. Actors would need to be available for BOTH performances. Rehearsals will be scheduled once all actors are cast. The class is at 1pm and call times before performances are at 12:30. You will most likely be released by 1:45pm. Pay is $50 after the whole process. (I'm a student and can't afford much) This is more of a theater type gig but I couldn't find such a category on CL. 

Parts: 
Dave Burke - male, caucasian, in his 50s. Ex-chief of police who did 1 year in jail for contempt of court. Lives in the past as suggested by the wall of his apartment, which is decorated with past awards, plaques, and newspaper clippings. Has turned and is the orchestrator of a bank robbery plan. 

Earle Slater - male, caucasian, in his 40s. Athletic, from the South. An ex-con who did time twice, once for assault with a deadly weapon, and once for manslaughter. His girlfriend makes more money than him - he can't find a decent job - and it's eating at him being kept by a woman. He's also a bit of a racist, as was common in 1959. 

Johnny Ingram - male, African American, in his 30s. A fashionable man; from the South but has worked to loose all traces of his accent. Gambles on horses and has hit a bad streak lately. Owes a loan shark $7,500 and must do this bank job or his ex-wife and young daughter will be hurt by the loan shark's thugs. 

Scene is between 3-5minutes in length. All actors expected to be off book by 2nd rehearsal and especially for the 1st performance.

Actors Needed for Potential Hollywood Movie

Attention all serious actors: 
 
We are filming a trailor for a movie that has a very good chance of making it to Hollywood. I know everyone says that but we already have talks going with the company and this is a legitimate option. Please only apply if you are a Chicago, IL based actor or actress and are serious about giving your best acting performance.

Passionate Los Angeles-based filmmakers who originally hail from Chicago are shooting the opening scene (8 minutes) of a feature-length screenplay this fall. Because it is a scary movie, the scene will be intense. There will be minimal blood used, but there will be absolutely no violence...think Hitchcock or Carpenter. 

Once the scene is filmed and edited, we will be putting it front of a lot of Hollywood heavy weights. So if cast, you have the potential to be seen by a lot of people within the film industry. The goal of this project is to get a green light on the production of the full feature film. 

The scene will be shot on location in an Arlington Heights home. The set will be a catered and actor-friendly environment. The finished product will look and sound very sleek, like the opening scene to a major motion picture.



Filming will take place in Chicago, IL
Acting Roles being cast: 

MRS ALTMAN. Caucasian, 40s, suburban mom, with strong emotional range; will need to get to tears and a state of complete panic. 

KATHRYN ALTMAN. Caucasian, 11-14, must have strong emotional range, good with casual dialogue, must show absolute fright, comfortable screaming out of fear, would be great if she could get to tears. 

ANTHONY ALTMAN. Caucasian, 4-8, cute, big eyes, must convey complete fright, no lines but facial expressions are key. 

DAVID ALTMAN. Caucasian, 15-17, thin and slight, no speaking lines, but facial expressions are key.
