I’m putting together a feature film to be shot in and around Potterville this summer, and we’re holding a preliminary casting session at the PHS administrative building on Saturday, February 16, 2019 between 12-5p.m. “Cents” is a coming of age film set amidst the 2002 Potterville train derailment. The lead character in the film has a mild intellectual disability and we will be casting a non-actor with an intellectual disability, as well as several other roles. I have attached our casting call flier.
Our Oscar nominated director was raised in Potterville and we are excited to tell a story in his hometown. You can read a recent article from the Lansing State Journal here.
We would love to get your support and have you share our flier. Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions, 310-993-7748
Thank you,

Email [email protected] or call 310-993-7748 for more information.
1. Male, 16-19, mild intellectual disability, handsome in his own way, pen-tattoos on his forearms.
