Because this is a student production, there will be very little monetary compensation; however, 4 days of lodging, transportation, and food will be supplied. Should the film receive sponsorship after production, pay can be negotiated. The film is highly character driven, and will be a great portfolio piece for any actor; the film will be submitted to various festivals and is a great opportunity for an actor to get his name into the independent film community. Actors of all skill level are welcome to submit head-shots/demos for consideration (though experience is certainly a plus).

The story, based loosely on the folk story of "Tailypo", takes place in a mountain cabin where an old man and his two dogs encounter a very odd creature during a harsh winter. Modeled after the traditional ghost story, the short will be a pseudo horror piece focused towards a younger audience (though in no way childish). The film will span roughly 10 minutes and involves 3 set locations. A script can be provided upon request.

I'm looking for a male preferably age 45+. The character is roughly 60, but the age can be worked around (facial hair is a good addition). If interested in participating, please email head-shots (demos/past work if possible), personal/contact information and resume
