FATHERS DAY SPOTS URGENT
Summary HI I am casting 3 lovely scripts for Fathers Day for Not On The High Street. We are looking for three Fathers + three children. We are looking to shoot an honest, authentic, emotional film so would love to investigate having REAL DADS AND THEIR CHILDREN AS AN OPTION, especially with the younger kids. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SUGGEST WHETHER THEY ARE RELATED If this is not an option WE NEED ADULTS THAT ARE COMFORTABLE WITH KIDS AND HAVE WORKED WITH THEM BEFORE AND CHILDREN WHO ARE COMFORTABLE ON SET AND GIVING A PERFORMANCE. CREATING A GENUINE CONNECTION AND AUTHENTIC SCENES IS VERY IMPORTANT SO ACTING SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE IS ESPECIALLY ESSENTIAL WITH THE LITTLE ONES. We are looking for CUTE, CHARISMATIC PEOPLE. We want a diverse cast and would love to see options of all different ethnicities. Its about getting the right connection and emotion WE NEED A HIGH LEVEL OF ACTING SKILL FROM THE CHILDREN i.e. Girls 1 & 3 have dialogue (but it is quite natural) and Boy 2 needs to cry if possible – please only suggest accordingly. The Dads should all be quite different, one potentially more sporty, one more geeky, one more into cooking. We want a real range.
PLEASE SEND SUGGESTIONS BY END OF TODAY WED 4TH MAY. SELECTS FOR SHOOT WILL NOT BE MADE TILL MON 9TH MAY SO PLEASE ONLY SUGGEST CHILDREN WHO CAN BE LICENSED BY THE SHOOT DATE THE FOLLOWING TUES 17TH MAY
