“BLACK AND BLUE”
“Black and Blue,” a short film depicting “a young female musician whose dreams are attacking her in her waking life,” seeks talent for three leading and two supporting roles. Shooting is tentatively set for this summer in Chicago, Illinois. Hired actors will be paid $100/shoot day, with travel and meals provided.

“HIS/HERS”
Student film “His/Hers” is casting actors for two leading and two supporting roles. Following a “recovering alcoholic with mommy issues and a sprinkling of OCD” who gets stood up by his ex at a bar, the project will shoot April 14–16 in the Northridge, California area. Talent will be paid $100 for supporting roles and $200 for leads.
