Actors in L.A. for Student Film Project “Breakthrough”

Logline: A tutor must teach geology to a disinterested water polo jock who would rather be anywhere else. The two become locked in a struggle of wills as the session descends into madness.

Shoot dates: March 6th to 9th at LMU Westchester Campus

Casting:

Martin (Male, Mid-20s) is a geeky aspiring geologist and tutor. Martin needs a grant for his thesis, but the only way to get it is to make sure that the water polo champion Gabe passes his geology test. Unfortunately, Gabe has never cared about geology a day in his life and his lack of care ends up pushing Martin to his breaking point.

Gabe (Male, Early-20s) is a physically fit champion tier water polo player who believes he’s too good for school. His coach is forcing him to attend a tutoring session for his geology class, which he is failing. Though he doesn’t care about geology, he can be dropped from the team if he fails this class.

Both of these roles have a lot of physical humor to them and little dialogue so good physical acting is important.
