Short film "The Pond" seeks extras for Aug. 24

[Received the following notice from John Campanello at BetweenGigs Casting.]

The independent film "The Pond" is seeking extras for funeral scenes taking place in Hudson NH on Monday, August 24...starting in late afternoon or early evening.

"The Pond" is about a woman who loses the love of her life in a car accident, and through a strange set of circumstances he is resurrected...but to her complete dismay she learns that he cannot stay. The explanation of all this comes from a very mysterious character, whose job it is to keep certain things in nature protected, and secret. Alicia Witt and David Morse star in this film.

The script is written by local screenwriter Dan Hannon, who will be directing as well. Dan is also one of the founders of the annual New Hampshire Film Festival. The film is shooting now in NH and is managed under a SAG deferred payment contract. Both union and non-union actors may submit.

Acting experience is not required, though you will need to be able to take direction, as a few scenes require the mourners to display various reactions to events that occur during the service. There is no pay, but munchies will be provided. The time commitment may be 4 - 8 hours. All looks and ages 18 and over are welcome to submit. Expectations for wardrobe are below.

If you would like to be considered as an extra, please respond asap to PondMovie@gmail.com with:

Your Name
Your Phone Number
Your Age Range

Subject Line of your response should be Extra: Your Name

The producers will contact all who are selected to be extras. You are welcome to submit with a friend, spouse, etc. No headshots or resumes need be submitted. They will ask for photos if necessary. They need approx 100 people...so please feel free to forward this message.

Thanks!
John
