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.

role you are primarily interested in. Nothing is set in stone, so if

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.
