ACTING OPPORTUNITY in an industrial (a type of video) shooting locally on August 28

[Don Harvey]

Geometrix Productions is auditioning for a number of roles in a 15-minute training video, and if you wanna be in pickchers, maybe you should audition!  If you want more info, email me at [e-mail], but for now here's everything I know about it:

Prelim Title: "A Question of Negligence."  Objective: a video showing snippets of a trial for the viewing audience who will ultimately act as jurors to decide the outcome of the case.

 

In the scenario, a 3 year old child has been burned by a pot of boiling water from the stove.  The mother alleges that the stove was not secured to the wall as required by code and the stove tipped when the child pulled on the oven door.  The maintenance man claims that he followed procedure and secured the stove as required.  The neighbor claims that the mother does not watch her children.

 

Through courtroom dialog we learn the process of proper maintenance documentation, new tenant orientation in public housing, and personal responsibility.

 

Here is our preliminary casting requirements:

 

• Judge:  Woman non-white, over 40
• 2 lawyers: one male, one female, one minority, one Caucasian, age may range from 35 on up.
• Medical expert  &  Technical expert on installation of stoves: professional and old enough to establish credibility as an expert--    likely over 40 and can go up in age from there.....need one male, one female, one Caucasian one minorit 
• Maintenance Guy:  real hands-on type, 40-50's -- been doing this forever, gruff, rough demeanor, Italian? Irish? Greek?  White with strong ethnic identity
• Maintenance Supervisor:  he is the younger boss (age range upper 30's) of the above guy--likely has a college degree, professional, minority male is good
• Mother:  Caucasian, she lives in public housing, has at least 2 children, in her 20's is alleged to have poor supervision of her children.
