CASTING CALL FOR A SHORT FILM

We are casting a project for Sayhota Entertainment / 100p Films scheduled to shoot in the Okanagan in June. Union & non union talent are welcome to apply. Info is as follows…

Title: Sounds Reasonable

Type/Genre: Short Film/Comedy

Union Designation: 40 Under Indie ULB 

Rate: Volunteer

Shoot Dates: June 17 & 18, 2023

Shooting Location: In & around Kelowna, BC

Auditions: Self-Tapes

Callbacks: Possible virtual callbacks for select roles

Submission Deadline: Tues. May 2nd, 10am

Add’l: Meals, craft services & HMW services provided. No travel, no accommodations, no per diem. All cast & crew must self-drive to and from set.

LOGLINE: A man, Steve, tries to outsmart the legal system, only to have it backfire in his face.

JASON (Principal) – Male, 30s-40s. Steve’s best friend who accidentally gives him a big idea. He’s tall, muscular and focused on fitness. Jason works as an e-scooter food app delivery driver to make ends meet as his degree in linguistics went nowhere. Must be able to safely ride an e-scooter at low and medium speeds.

JUDGE (Principal) – Female, 50s-60s. BIPOC. A powerful, fair and no-nonsense Judge who is forced to put up with Steve’s legal, yet absurd dealings. Regardless of her feelings, she puts the law first, especially when she can use it to get even.

COP (Principal) – Male, 20s-40s. Typical cop on a bit of a power trip. He repeatedly catches Steve committing minor crimes and gives him citations. Must be able to run.

MALE CARRIER (Actor) – All genders, 30s-50s. Bored and somewhat lazy worker who delivers mail to Steve’s place and expects to do no more work that what’s absolutely necessary. Think Newman from Seinfeld without the scheming.

ICE CREAM CLERK (Actor, Non-Speaking) Female, 18-25 yrs. or 55+. A friendly but by-the-book employee of an ice cream shop. She stops Steve’s plot of getting a free ice cream cone. Note: this character may be required to eat ice cream so please add note of any applicable allergies

LITTLE GIRL (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Female, 7-10 yrs. She is a friendly and helpful little girl who is convinced by Steve to enter the ice cream shop to get a free cone. Note: this character may be required to eat ice cream so please add note of any applicable allergies

BAILIFF (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Male, 30s-60s. A bored Bailiff who is surprised when he is called upon to take Steve into custody.

JOGGER (Actor, Non-Speaking) – Male, 20s-40s. A runner who rounds a corner and collides with Steve, causing Steve’s ice cream cone to smash into his chest. Must be able to run and stop quickly.
