CASTING CALL - D.C. METRO AREA

"SISTERS" EXPERIMENTAL NARRATIVE VIDEO PROJECT SEEKS FOUR ACTRESSES

Internationally recognized video artist Gabriel Shalom is currently
seeking four young women (non-union) to act in an experimental video
project about sorority girls. A 19-page script will serve as the
foundation for a short (17-20 minute) film and a few short (3-5
minute) improvised art pieces. This project is being financed by the
Hochschule für Gestaltung (High Academy of Design) in Karlsruhe,
Germany. Gabriel Shalom developed the script under the guidance of
Razvan Radulescu (author of the screenplay for The Death Of Mr.
Lazarescu - Cannes Prix Un Certain Regard).

- Auditions, callbacks, rehearsals and shoot to take place in the D.C.
metro area in early March 2007.
- A small honorarium will be paid to each actress.
- Prior experience with sororities a plus but not necessary.
