Casting for black and white horror comedy set in the 50s. Shoot dates are TBD. Most likely sometime in October or November.
Will be compensated.
Seeking principle cast:

DWAYNE (40s-50s) Dwayne is the protagonist. He’s a washed up aging movie star in denial of his fleeting glory days. He’s arrogant and constantly living in the past. His bravado exterior serves to mask how lonely he actually is.
Looking for someone very similar in looks and personality to Ernest Borgnines character in Marty, 1955.

NORMA (40s) Norma is the elegant femme fatale. She’s tall and gorgeous, but harbors a deadly secret. Her mysterious demeanor immediately grabs the attention of Dwayne, leading to an interesting turn in the night.
Looking for someone similar to Hedy Lamarr or Gloria Swanson.

SAM (40s) Sam is Dwaynes best friend. He typically follows Dwaynes lead, adding fuel to his inflated ego. He’s a loyal friend, and although he spends most of the night intoxicated, he comes through for his friend in the end.
Looking for someone similar to the friend in Marty, or Ted Raimi in Ash vs Evil dead.

Please send a full body photo- if you fit the part I will email you more details and send a few lines for a reading.
Thanks! 🙂
