Round 2 of auditions for Josh Rowley's Senior Project for Art Institute Film School, "Willaby," will be held at  9487 South 500 West Sandy, Utah This Tuesday, June 26th from 6:30PM- 9:30PM

 WOMEN AUDITIONING FOR THE ROLE OF PENELOPE WILL BE SEEN FROM 6:30-7:30 pm ONLY.

ACTORS FOR ALL OTHER ROLES WILL BE SEEN FROM 7:30-9:30pm

This is a cold read and sides for speaking roles will be available at the audition.  We are looking to audition your best available actors (please do not submit more than four actors for each role) for each character.  Not all roles are speaking roles and actors will need to be able to demonstrate an ability to convey specific emotions without using words:

Willaby

Not good looking or ugly, just very average. Late 20's early 30's. He has a lean build with brown hair and brown eyes. He is quiet, but not shy. He has an extremely intelligent and amazing imagination. His only friend is his dog. He is an only child and gets very little attention from his parents or anyone really. He is extremely lonely and Willaby just wants to be loved and accepted.

 

Penelope

Naturally beautiful with the girl next door appearance. She is in her late 20's. She is shy and quiet and completely unaware of her beauty. She has red or brown hair and is very petite. She has a natural kindness to her and a quirky love for animals. In the dream sequence she is stunning in breathtaking gowns and flawless makeup.

 

The Boss

Large and middle aged with reddened blotchy skin. The boss has gained 20 or so pounds in the last few years but has not updated his wardrobe so all his clothes are slightly too tight and it appears as if he has been poored into them. He is always wheezing and sweaty and has the appearance of a fattened pig. He balding hair is greasy and slicked back.

 

Circus Announcer/mail room boy

Wirey and small with quick darting eyes. He is the type that plays online computer games and collects action figures. He is strange and bizarre and slightly makes all around him uncomfortable. He has a nervous laugh.

 

Action Figure/Cool male co-worker

A good looking man in late 20's, early thirties. Very trim and strong in great physical shape. He is your typical high school jock in every way possible. Blonde hair blue eyes, perfect teeth. He is very smooth and suave.

 

Willaby's Mom

Already cast, please do not submit actors for this role

 

Willaby's Dad

Complete Fuddy Duddy. Middle aged, and the years haven't been kind. He is slightly chubby, but not overweight. He has thinning red hair that is turning white. He has gotten off the fashion train years ago. He wears Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts with legs that haven't seen the light of day in years. 


Payment will be deferred for the trailer. We are currently planning to use any actors cast for the trailer for the full, paid shoot next summer.  We will have contracts for the actors to sign when they are cast.
