Mistletoe Short Films: Casting Call
We're getting involved in the Mistletoe Festival in Tenbury Wells this year in lots of ways! Perhaps most excitingly, we're going to be creating some short silent films on a mistletoe theme, which will be shown as part of the festival celebrations.
If you've ever wanted to be in a film then now is your chance! Everyone is welcome, and there is no cost to take part. Actors and actresses of any age are welcome and no prior acting experience is necessary. You'll only need to come along to one session, which will be about two hours long. Parts of all sizes are available, from leads to supporting extras - and of course, as it's a silent film you won't have to remember any lines!
We'll be arranging the filming dates in November to suit the people who get in touch, so if you're interested just send us an email to hao@tenburytown.org.uk and we'll get back to you soon.
Why not bring the whole family along? Then you can all ask each other for your autographs afterwards. Who knows, this could be the start of a wonderful career...
