Indie paid project filming in Philly is currently casting the following roles
Looking to cast the following roles for an independent feature film. Looking to start filming November 1st, but there is a possibility that production will start earlier.
The film is about the rise and fall of a promising young athlete, who allowed his ties to a notorious Philadelphia-based mob to bring him down.
