INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILM AND FILMMAKERS:

We are filmmakers originally from central Texas and have recently begun our search for a first-time non-professional actor for an upcoming feature film set during the Civil War.  We’re looking for a very special 11-15 year-old African-American boy for the lead.  He will be taught the basics of acting and will co-star alongside professional actors.

Our last film, August Evening, was shot in Texas and highlighted performances by mostly first-time actors who went on to receive great acclaim.  The film was distributed in theaters nationwide, and it was one of the best-reviewed films of the year.  August Evening won the Independent Spirit Award (similar to Oscars for independent films), the $50,000 Target Filmmaker Award, and numerous other festival prizes.

If selected, your student could have incredible experiences and opportunities.  We found the lead actor for August Evening by accident, bumping into him on the street in San Antonio.  Although he had no experience prior to our film, he went on to receive several acting awards and was nominated for Best Actor alongside Oscar nominees at the Independent Spirit Awards (the winner of that award won the Oscar the next day!).   He’s walked many red carpets with celebrities, been the subject of multiple TV news programs, been flown around the world for festivals, and has been offered many other acting roles.
