Shiksa
Location: Chicago, IL
Type: Student Films
We’re looking to fill several roles for a short film by DePaul University Students. They are non-paid, and a weekend shoot.
The film is called Shiksa, and is the story of a Jewish man, Adam, who finally brings his recently-engaged, Catholic fiancee, Beth, home to meet his parents… although, his parents just so happen to be his four overbearing and loving mothers. Beth spends her first Shabbat trying to win over Adam’s mothers all while staying true to her roots.
The characters we are looking for are:
Beth (19-25) Beautiful, blonde, pure, and sweet. Stays true to her roots but will make sacrifices to be with Adam.
Adam (19-26) Typical, Jewish boy with curly brown hair and a strong love for his family, as well as his fiancee.
Devorah (Dev) (40s-50s) – Short, (5’5 or shorter) sweet, Jewish woman; Adam’s loving mother.
Elise (40s-50s) – Brown, curly hair; snarky, overprotective mother
Hana (40s-50s)-the spouses of Dev & Elise; Jewish physical appearance
Leah (40s- 50s) – the spouses of Dev & Elise; Jewish physical appearance
