Casting Help

Hello. My name is Jeff Kapp and you've actually helped me out a while back and sent out an email to local talent about an opportunity to be in one of our films.

We currently are casting for a new film that we hope to start shooting at the end of June, in and around Mason MI.

"Friendly Advice"

Filming late June into July. Weekends only in and around Mason MI.

Experience only, non paid. Sadly the budget has gone into getting the public businesses to let us film there and catering.

Anyone interested should email [email protected] with a head shot and what character they are interested in reading for.

"Friendly Advice" is a comedy about 3 friends. When Adam goes through a very traumatic breakup, his two best friends are there to give him very conflicting advice on how he should get through this time in his life.

Adam- Adam is a 20 something Caucasian male who has just experienced a very traumatic heartbreak and his two best friends are more than happy to give their advice. Very contradicting advice.

Alex- Alex is a 20 something Caucasian male who is a play it by the books type. A real, better safe than sorry person. Always dresses casual and thinks Adam needs to feel like a complete waste of space, cry it out before he moves on.

Mikey- Mikey is a 20 something African American male who is the "player" of the group. He believes that Adam needs to do only 3 things to get over the break up. 1. Drink 2. Sleep with lots of women 3. Drink some more!

Claire- Claire is a 20 something female who is a cute nerdy type, who catches the eye of Adam.

EXTRAS

Female Escort- no lines just stands there.

Coffee Shop and Bar extras

Anyone interested should email [email protected] with a head shot and what character they are interested in reading for.
