There will be an open casting call held on Saturday, Jan. 26 in Vernon, Texas, at the Vernon Plaza Theatre in downtown Vernon from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The casting call will consist of a brief talk with a member of the casting team and possibly an interview on camera. All participants should bring a non-returnable photo. Interested parties may call their information line at (512) 637-9782 or e-mail PrimrosePictures@gmail.com, though no appointment is necessary.
While acting experience is not necessary, the production will provide compensation on the scale of professional actors. Filmmakers are specifically looking for children with old-fashioned qualities in small town environments.
As Bob Hudgins, the Director of the Texas Film Commission, has said, "This story is set in Texas, and the Primrose team is determined to cast this part in Texas. This could be a rare opportunity for a young Texan or Oklahoman to land a lead role in a major film, and I appreciate Primrose's dedication to making that happen."
While details of the project are being kept confidential during the casting process, the filmmakers have been nominated for Academy Awards and have produced numerous films that are considered to be critically acclaimed around the world.
“The filmmakers are known to us and are well-respected both nationally and internationally,” Hudgins said. “I assure you that this is a professional, legitimate film project, and one that I expect we'll all be proud of.”
The role calls for a boy who is confident, lively and thoughtful. This statewide search has been taking place since September of 2006 and will be completed by February of 2008. Filming will commence in March.
Francine Maisler Casting has cast films such as “Spider-Man”, “Miami Vice” and “As Good As It Gets.”
