THE REMAKE
Non-union, indie short film

A beleaguered assistant reaches her breaking point during the casting call for a remake of an iconic Hollywood film.

FILMING:
May 2-3, 2026
Kansas City, MO

====================
ROLE:
AUDITIONING ACTOR (M, ages 25-60, any ethnicity) - 2 half filming days, $100 flat rate

More than just background, he’s here to be the next Brando and it shows. He’s auditioning for a once-in-a-lifetime role in an iconic remake. His focus is singular, his passion is unrelenting. Late 80s/early 90s looks from young heartthrob to seasoned star.

====================
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:
- Reading of audition material
- Headshots/recent images of yourself

SELF-TAPE AUDITION DEADLINE:
Friday, April 24, 2026

AUDITION FORM:

THE REMAKE
Non-union, independent short film

A beleaguered assistant reaches her breaking point during the casting call for a remake of an iconic Hollywood film.

FILMING:
May 2-3, 2026 (tentatively)
Kansas City, MO

===============
ROLES:
EVE (F, ages 20-40, any ethnicity) - 2 filming days, $400 flat rate
An obsessively organized casting assistant struggling to stay poised and maintain order amidst a surging tide of arrogant actors and unrelenting disrespect. A professional on the verge whose face says everything she can’t.

DIRECTOR (M, ages 30-40, Caucasian) - 1 filming day, $100 flat rate
The asshole auteur. Pretentious, egotistical, and blissfully oblivious to his shallow depth and overall incompetence. A strutting confidence that needs to be seen.

CASTING DIRECTOR (M, ages 40-60, any ethnicity) - 1 filming day, $100 flat rate
Has seen it all and wishes he hadn’t. He’s tired, unimpressed, and has perfected empty ego stroking without expending any of his very limited energy. Polished but passionless.

GORDON (M, ages 25-60, any ethnicity) - 2 filming days, $100 flat rate
An auditioning actor and imaginary A-Lister. A never-was who believes he’s the second coming of Brando.  Thinks all assistants are his assistants and dehumanizing is his default setting unless you’ve got a part to cast.

===============
