Short Film Needs Adults & Teens. ASAP!

Hi Folks!

 

Please see the project notice below from a commercial client of mine. This is a personal project for her, an entry to a contest sponsored by Pepsi.  Deadline for submissions is this Wednesday at 6 PM.  Projects shoots Jan 17 or 18.

 

The concept: We see a yuppie-ish couple in a mall parking lot.  They are well dressed and well coifed, and bringing items to their fancy-schmancy car.  The never say a word and barely look at each other, but their body language and face expressions convey a tenseness or impatience towards each other (not anger, but something the audience would likely see as "snobby annoyance").  They go through a usual/structured routine of actions in putting their items into the car and getting in themselves.

 

All the while, a down-to-earth teenage couple in very casual, comfortable clothing/jeans is watching them. They shoot looks to each other that clearly translate their subtle astonishment and amusement at the exchange they are witnessing...and their general contentment and conviction that they will never "evolve" into that couple.

 

This is a non-union project, and the finished product will be about 60 seconds long. It is non-paying.  However, IF the film wins the Grand Prize, a stipend will be paid to the talent. There will be a good amount of face time on camera, but no lines.  If you are good at face expressions & reactions and are interested in being considered, instructions for submitting are below.  Shoot location will likely be the North Shore area of Massachusetts... Peabody/Danvers-ish.
