Students from Bournemouth are casting a film project that will inspire members of the public to reflect on the current state of the NHS. The film follows Lauren, a young nurse in crisis. Exhausted and overworked, she must fight against the system for her patients. The team are casting for a number of supporting and background roles. Here’s the breakdown:
Supporting role Sandra Corp is for a white female actor with a playing age of 40–60. A resilient, witty and impatient secondary school teacher, she’s a natural manipulator. When her son is involved in a motorcycle accident, she tries her best to ensure he gets the medical attention he needs.
Day player role Doctor is for a non-white male with a playing age of 35–50.
Sick Mother is for a white female actor with a playing age of 70+.
Mr Corp is for a white male actor with a playing age of 40–65.
Porter is for a male actor of any ethnicity with a playing age of 60+.
The project shoots 28 February–4 March in the Bournemouth area. Roles are paid £93.90 per working day and travel will be provided. The team are seeking local talent.
