What they are looking for
A film student at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is casting seven actors, male and female, ages 21 to 30 for a short film. The story follows Miranda, a young woman struggling with money who suddenly runs into a tense chance to win a fortune. The remaining roles are small: each one shoots a single scene on one day. Enthusiasm matters more than experience. Filming runs between November 20 and December 19 in Richmond. It is unpaid. Email the student to get the audition sheet with character details and sample lines, then reply with a self-tape; a headshot and resume are optional. The listing does not give a closing date. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Reach out right away, since filming starts November 20 and you first need to get the audition sheet. For the self-tape, a phone in landscape at eye level with window light and a plain background is enough. The story is about money and tension, so play the scene with real stakes but keep it grounded. Confirm which day you would be needed on set.
