Please Read Carefully
Before Applying
Hello;
My name is Mike Way. I am the writer,
director and producer for the timely romantic drama already in
production, titled;
Morning Prayer Over
Chesapeake - A Love Story
(synopsis).
Our film has, due to no fault
by anyone, lost its top two stars
to logistical snafus. One was offered an fabulous opportunity to move to LA to
further a budding career while the other has been requested to
perform at the prestigious 2005 Edinburgh International
Festival during our production schedule.
We are currently
seeking actors with the chops to step into a demanding role that
will be sure take a career to the next level. This is a
non-union gig but is seriously, an opportunity of a
lifetime for the right actor/actress.
Your name could be one to replace the
names on the poster to the right; Your face will replace a face
on the strip to the right.
Additionally, filming
will require the selected actor(s) to be available 2~3 days
(morning or afternoons) a week and several Saturdays or Sundays
for the duration of the principal photography. Most of the
venues are in Baltimore, Washington DC, and Anne Arundel
County. There is one all day shoot in Calvert County. With
generous weather and timely cooperation, we should wrap by
mid-summer.
You will lead a
fabulous supporting cast; the job of moving the story forward
will rest on your shoulders.
IMPORTANT:
This is a romantic drama/comedy. There are no explicit love
scenes, no sex, and minimal kissing, but intimacy is implied.
The two leads should be able to comfortably convince the
audience that they are in fact, falling in love.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
Starring in Ensemble
Chris: Just Open
- SWM, 28 ~ 35. Acquisitions editor for a
university publisher. College room-mate of Morrie and best
friend. Chris is handsome and somewhat carefree. He’s very
methodical and is a social narcissist. (One scene takes
place aboard a 42ft sailboat. Nothing dangerous but must NOT be
afraid to sail)
Megan/Sara: Just Open
-
SWF or SHF, 24 ~ 30. Advertising exec.
Extraordinarily beautiful with a ‘tomboy’ air about her. She’s
feminine yet independent. Lives in the shadows of the high
morals imparted to her by her living parents. (One scene
takes place aboard a 42ft sailboat. Nothing dangerous but must
NOT be afraid to sail)
Adriana: Already Cast -
Awarded to Kristine Kelly
SWF, 25 ~ 33. Freelance fashion photographer to top magazines.
Engaged to Chris. More sophisticated than Megan; pretty but
sensual. Exudes life and trust in her friends. Sister committed
suicide after divorce. This event created an unreasonable fear
of a failed relationship
Morrie:
Already
Cast - Awarded to Jose de la Mar
Uni-Race, 28 ~
35. Morrie in an ethnic compendium. He appears to be white,
black, Hispanic, Arab, Jewish, and uses his striking
mono-ethnicity to transcend many scenarios. He is wise,
old-fashioned in his morals and is Chris’ best friend since
college.
Headshots are
required. Your resume is important but I believe “chops”
show up at the audition and not on the resume. Do not simply
discount yourself because this is a starring role. You may have
that 'something special' we’re looking for. Click here to
email your rez and headshot.

Best Regards and God Bless You,
PS. After
the film's completion, a very special cast party will be held at
an incredible restaurant on the Chesapeake Bay. |
