Cooley Productions is producing a horror film to be shooting NEXT WEEK. Due to unforseen circumstances, the lead Male actor is no longer able to proceed. I am the Director of Photography.

Candidate will need to be available Monday the 11th of July through Sunday the 18th of July (2 days rehearsals, 5 days of shooting).

Qualified actors will receive $200-$400 depending upon their improvisational abilities and believabilty on film. Improv a must……emotions and reactions very desirable…We are looking for that Blair Witch acting style. Able to react to anything thrown at them. Film genre is a mix of horror & Sci-Fi

Early 20′s, attractive but original, not weird or sexy or unoriginal…..No drama queens or high maintenance persons please. We are shooting mainly at night on a ranch in Red Oak. Script will be discussed upon signing of “Confidentiality Agreement.”

Please submit your headshot, any link to reels/demos online, and your resume to:

410 Garfield Films, Crooked Path Films & Poorchild Films have partnered to produce an inspirational short film entitled: “The Key”.

“Some keys open doors… others can open your heart”.

We are now casting for the following roles:

DEREK – (Lead Male) – 13 to 15 year old boy. Caucasian. Must be able to convey wide range of emotions, including comedy.

Derek is cocky but witty and funny but loyal to Alex (lead female) beyond doubt. He’s got her back as only a true friend can. He admires her strength and grace through her tragedy. She always has been able to talk him into anything.

THE MYSTERIOUS CHILD – (Supporting) – 8 to13 year old girl. Any ethnicity. Confident and comfortable in whom she is. Able to convey poise and charm without being overly dramatic. Natural style.

The Mysterious Child is a comforting but guiding person who may be an Angel or other spirit sent to steer Alex (13 yr. old female lead) in the right direction. She is encouraging but aloof at the same. The actor needs to be a child who can deliver her lines with a natural style.   1 scenes, 16 lines

Film Synopsis:
The KEY is an inspirational, family friendly short film that takes you on a journey of discovery with young, Alex Clayton. It deals with her failing strength of faith, family and God. Alex must find value and a purpose for her life when no one else seems to care.
At her weakest moment, she is confronted by a mystery and quickly solicits the help of her best and only friend, Derek Otis. The two turn the small town of Harmony upside down in their search for answers. They soon find themselves on the wrong side of the law on their convoluted trial in their search for clues that takes them only deeper as they go.
Exhausted and at wits end, Alex must give in and let go of everything, only to find she may have never been alone or loved so much than right now.
