Casting for the roles of Joel and Ellie for a TXST “The Last of Us” film project
“The Last of Us” is an acclaimed action-adventure video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Initially released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and later remastered for the PlayStation 4, the game has garnered widespread acclaim for its compelling narrative, immersive gameplay, and stunning visuals.
“The Last of Us” has been produced as a television series for HBO and streams on the MAX network.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly fungal infection, players follow the journey of Joel, a hardened survivor, and Ellie, a young girl with a mysterious immunity to the infection, as they traverse a dangerous landscape.

Actors will perform the scene live in class at Live Oak Hall as part of the workshop. We will also be filming the scene after the live performance. The edited scene will be given to the actors to use in their reel!

Actors are REQUIRED to:
