Casting Call: SEASONS CYCLE Short Film
Seasons Cycle is a 10-minute fantasy genre short film being produced by the Northern Virginia Motion Picture Co-Op. In it, a Forest Nymph protects her realm by luring interlopers to their doom. Over the course of 4 seasons we see her interact with 4 other characters while she sports a variety of striking looks, some beautiful and some monstrous. This is a micro-budget, independent non-union shoot.
We are casting for the following 5 roles: LORIELLA Gender: Female Ethnicity: Any Age Range: 18-35 No Dialogue Loriella is a forest Nymph, an otherworldly fey spirit that represents the spirit of the woods. Young and beautiful in spring, regal and commanding in summer, creepy and unsettling in autumn, and withered and dying in winter. We need someone who can be at turns alluring, sexy, imposing, frightening, murderous, and pitiable with just a look, a movement, or a pose. Some segments will require prosthetic makeup and face/body painting. Commitment is 4 shooting days and 2 days for makeup/costume tests. Shooting days are 2 in mid-July, 1 in mid-fall, and 1 in early winter, final scheduling and location TBD. Pay is $200/day for shooting days and $100/Day for Makeup/Costume tests.
THE HUNTER Gender: Male Ethnicity: Any Age Range: 18-35 No Dialogue The Hunter is young-ish medieval or renaissance man hunting alone in the forest. He knows how to track game and knows how to handle a bow, but is not worldly. He is unprepared for the supernatural and easily taken in by a pretty face. Commitment is 1 Shooting day in mid-July, with the possibility of a second shooting day with the 2nd Unit. Pay is $100/day for shooting days.
THE WOODCUTTER Gender: Male Ethnicity: Any Age Range: 30-55 No Dialogue The woodcutter is a mature and physically imposing man of a medieval or renaissance era, chopping trees in the forest. He is superstitious and wary, but not nearly as strong-willed as he thinks he is. Commitment is 1 Shooting day in mid-July, with the possibility of a second shooting day with the 2nd Unit. Pay is $100/day for shooting days.
THE DRUID Gender: Any Ethnicity: Any Age Range: 30-55 No Dialogue The Druid is a medieval or Renaissance hedge-magician, looking for signs of the supernatural in the forest. They are determined and powerful, but respectful of the strength of nature. When their natural magic fails them, they know enough to be scared. This role requires some running/physicality. Commitment is 1 Shooting day in mid-autumn, with the possibility of a second shooting day with the 2 nd Unit. Pay is $100/day for shooting days.
THE URCHIN Gender: Male Ethnicity: Any Age Range: 14-22 No Dialogue The Urchin is a young boy or young man lost in the woods in winter, unprepared, and worried. Though he seems pitiable at first glance, he has a pure, kind heart and an inner strength. Commitment is 1 Shooting day TBD sometime between Mid-October and Mid-December, with the possibility of a second shooting day with the 2 nd Unit in Mid-December. Pay is $100/day for shooting days.
Actors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. This role may require travel with the 2nd unit outside the local region to an area that receives snowfall, in which case any travel and lodging requirements will be provided.
