Principle roles have already been filled but we still need to cast for the following supporting roles, just as crucial to the success of the film’s storytelling:

BETTY, late 20s.  Betty is an intriguing train wreck.  She’s having a bad night, but sets out to make Jared’s night even worse.  Betty must have a distinctive look that combines over-confidence, toughness, and calculated flirtatiousness.  Part girl-of-his-dreams, part low-life scum.  Randomly vindictive.  This is a crucial role requiring a nuanced, dialogue heavy performance. (Approximately 8 days)

DEREK CAMPBELL, 30s, African-American.  Derek is a life-of-the-party kind of guy who travels a lot for work and enjoys telling stories.  Derek and Jenny Campbell are best friends with Jared and Emily. (Approximately 2 days)

VICTORIA, 30s.  Victoria is Jared’s long-ago girlfriend.  She doesn’t know how she got to be a soccer mom in a stale marriage, but she’s there.  Victoria has a manic and sharp sense of humor.  Must be able to go from bright and bubbly to drunken despair. (Approximately 2 days)

DAVE, 30s-50s.  Dave is the producer of a local cooking show co-hosted by Emily.  He’s positive, but pragmatic, and trying to arrange the details of what could be a major career breakthrough for Emily.  (Approximately 2 days)

WARREN, 40s-50s.  Warren is Emily’s cooking show co-host.  He has a bad habit of dropping innuendos and “single entendres.”  (1 day)

KLAUS, 20s-40s.  Klaus is a smooth, international womanizer.  He’s also a raging germophobe.  Ideally looking to cast an actor who speaks with a natural accent, so if English is your second language and you can lay on the charm, Klaus will be catered to you. (Approximately 3 days)

JACK, 18-early 20s.  Jack is a lovable innocent guy who suffers an embarrassing experience.

Talent will receive the Three C’s: Copy (of final DVD), Credit (on IMDb), and Carbohydrates (because people get hungry).  We also have a number of smaller speaking and non-speaking roles.

Auditions will take place on September 26th (Saturday). Filming will take place on weekends and evenings beginning October 16^th and ending in late December.  A schedule will be provided well in advance to avoid conflicts.

Email headshots/resumes/online reels (if you have one) to: frontave.casting [at] gmail [dot] com, with the character name in the subject line.
Please respond by September 22nd if you wish to be considered.

You can watch pre-production webisodes here: http://DidYouCastAnyone.com or read an interview with director Mike Vogel on Funding Your Bliss.

This is known as the Princess Scene from The Waiting List.  Chris, a stay-at-home dad waiting in line to get his kid into pre-school, talks about his daughter’s obsession with Disney Princesses. And how he developed a princess obsession of his own…

Jayme S. Hall plays Chris.

So watch the clip and let us know…. who are your your Top 3 Princesses?
