CALL FOR WWII SUBMARINE FILM
Students and faculty of the Film School at NNU are in the process of
building a full-size mockup of the control room of a WWII submarine for
an upcoming short film.
The story revolves around real events that led to a serious moral
dilemma on submarines on and after December 7th, 1941. The set is
constructed so that it can tilt to dive and surface, raise a periscope,
etc.
Former submariners are acting as technical advisors to make both the set and the script as realistic and accurate as possible.
Filming will be the weekend of April 19-21.
Unfortunately, given the historical era we're shooting, all roles are for Caucasian males.
LEADING ROLES:
Captain Donnigan -- 30 to 45 years old, skipper of the boat, an "old
man" in sub service terms, intelligent, compassionate, but very much in
charge
XO Spencer -- 28 to 40 years old, capable, dedicated to the mission, one
of the "new breed" of submariners at the beginning of WWII
Seaman Robbie Patterson -- 20 to 25 years old, radio and hydrophone operator, intelligent, inquisitive, capable.
Lt. Watkins -- 22 to 30 years old, Officer of the Deck (Diving Officer), in command of the crew
SUPPORTING ROLES (all are speaking roles):
Chief Grigg -- 30 to 40, Chief of the Boat (COB)
Seaman Quinn -- 18 to 24, helmsman and Robbie's best friend
Seaman Mirk -- 18 to 24, but looks 16, Stern Planes operator

Ensign Gates -- 20 to 26, Navigator
Lookout 1 -- 18 to 24

scenes are taken.
