Lena Dunham’s 1960 comedy starring Lisa Joyce is now casting extras in Los Angeles, California.
Central Casting Los Angeles is looking for background actors to work on the new HBO TV pilot from the creator of Girls, Lena Dunham.
The new HBO TV Pilot, Max, is a single camera series that centers around the struggles of women in the second wave feminism focusing particularly on Maxine Woodroof, an ambitious writer played by Lisa Joyce.
According to Deadline, “Maxine is an enthusiastic, if misguided, low-level magazine employee who stumbles into the forefront of a civil rights movement both she and the world may not be ready for.”
This will be Lena Dunham’s first production since Girls, which she wrote, directed and starred in at the age of 25. She would later earn several Emmy nominations in all three categories.
Casting directors are still looking for a ton of extras to work on the new TV series. To audition for a role on Max, check out the casting call details below:
