CHECKMATE is a short film about living the moment when life consists of
moves and sacrifices, like how chess consists of moves and sacrifices.
Life is like a game of chess; you never know which way you're going to
go. Josh Benjamin, 28, a man of ambition, relies on the nature of chess
to help him resolve his personal tribulations.

If interested in being apart of this project, please email
Headshots/Resumes to CheckmateCasting@...
<mailto:CheckmateCasting@...>. Please make sure to include what
role you are primarily interested in. Nothing is set in stone, so if
you're interested in a role – apply. You might surprise us.

Filming is due to take place at the end of March/beginning of April, on
the weekends. There will be no pay – this is a labor of love for those
involved, so please understand that when applying.
