A BEAUTIFUL BELLY Casting
Candle Fish Pictures is pleased to announce casting has begun for the microbudget independent feature film, A BEAUTIFUL BELLY (www.abeautifulbelly.com), a Romantic Dramedy about a young husband and wife experiencing a relationship crisis in the midst of their first pregnancy. The film will be written and directed by Andrew Kenneth Gay, whose short films “Naked,” “Love is Deaf,” and “Melissa With A Heart Around It” have received 50 official selections at film festivals in North America and Australia and have won a total of 8 awards.
Shooting is scheduled to take place between mid-June and mid-July 2009.
Auditions for lead and featured supporting roles will be held in Orlando, FL, by appointment with sides provided in advance, on the following dates:
March 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 29
April 2, 3, 4, 5
In addition, an open casting call will be held in Lakeland, FL, on March 28.
We are currently looking for Non-Union talent local to Central Florida. Pay is negotiable.
To request an audition appointment in Orlando or information regarding the open casting call in Lakeland, FL, please send your headshot and resume to cfpcasting@gmail.com. Reels are also welcome.
In addition to acting talent, the production is seeking submissions for both pregnant body-doubles and pregnant models for a series of semi-nude prop photographs for the film. These models will need to be 5 to 7 months pregnant during the shoot period (mid-June to mid-July). Interested models are invited to send headshots.
Please see breakdowns for the following roles:
Jason. Male Lead. Age: 24. Caucasian.
A young husband and aspiring children’s entertainer/musician experiencing a life crisis in the midst of his wife’s pregnancy. Looking for someone with an everyman quality who has the range to nail everything from brooding introvert to energetic children’s entertainer. Handsome, but not your typical leading man. Ability to sing and play piano a big plus.
Danny (Danielle). Female Lead. Age: 23. Caucasian.
A fiery young wife and expectant mother, Danny tends bar and struggles with an abiding loneliness. She takes her spiritual life seriously, but always remains grounded. In the course of the film, we see Danny both before the pregnancy and at 6-months. She is a natural brunette but dyes her hair red half way through the film. She’s fun, sexy, and a little sad. Looking for someone with a younger looking face to highlight the character’s youth.
Nathan. Supporting. Age: 30. Any ethnicity.
A dashing fine arts photographer who strikes up a friendship with Danny at a vulnerable time in her marriage. Despite his GQ looks and style, Nathan is a little quirky and awkward (think Clark Kent).
Allison. Supporting. Age: 24. Cuban-American.
A cunning, sensual, career-oriented graduate student developing a children’s show for a local television station. Allison sees in Jason an opportunity to make a name for herself, but they quickly forge a connection of another kind.
Will. Supporting. Age: 28. Caucasian.
Jason’s older brother. He’s a firefighter and a family man. He’s taller, more attractive, and stronger than Jason and plays the role of his mentor and guide.
Rachel. Supporting. Age: 23. Any ethnicity.
Will’s wife and Danny’s best friend and coworker. She’s short on tact but always a loyal and supportive friend.
Pastor Dave. Supporting. Age: 30. Caucasian.
Always well-meaning but a little cornball. Pastor Dave acts as a spiritual advisor in the lives of the characters. Lovable and comedic.
Patty. Supporting. Age: 40s-50s. Any ethnicity.
The executive producer at the TV station where Allison works. She’s no-nonsense and hard-nosed, but also lovable and comedic.
