This is a student short that will be submitted to various film festivals so unfortunately it is non-paid. However, it will be made available on-line for you to include in your portfolio.
Auditions will be held on February 4th in Ipswich, MA. Shooting will take place March 4th, 9th, 11th, 17th and 18th (actors will not be required to attend all dates and locations and dates are being finalized now).
