Directors Sean Parker and Austin Hillebrecht are seeking actors for "Coup de Théâtre," their third feature-length comedy. A wide variety of actors (of all experience levels) are needed to portray members of a fictional movie crew for a filmmaking-focused heist comedy.

The film follows Miles Smith, an ambitious but naive film student whose misfortunes in finding work in the film industry result in him being hired at a shockingly low-quality production company. Rather than sit idly by and help make awful films, Miles stages a daring takeover of the current production, working behind the director's back as he recruits disillusioned veterans of the company to help improve the film.

Several major parts, in addition to minor and non-speaking roles, will be available. Shooting will begin either in mid-December or early January, and will take place over a three-month period. Important characters include:

Caitlyn - female, 20 - 30. A movie buff who is a good friend of Miles, and was once in a relationship with. Caitlyn is good-natured, sarcastic, active, and a bit confused about her own motives in her friendship with Miles.

Dolores Bergman - female, middle-aged or older. A once-renowned actress, and Dorian's sister. Also a true thespian, worked extensively on stage, and is a bit more subdued than her wilder brother Dorian. She's classy, sophisticated, nice, and a bit elderly. She shares her brother's charms.

Cynthia Louis - female, 20 - mid thirties. The gorgeous leading lady of Adrian's film. Because of her looks, Adrian forces her into a stereotypical role, which she isn't particularly pleased about. She's not happy about the rampant sexism in Adrian's film, but needs the job. She's down-to-Earth, a bit quiet, and is quite a different person than her on-screen counterpart would suggest.

Acting roles are non-paying, but we will gladly supply a copy of the film for your demo reel. Most of the production will happen in Portland, OR, but all major character actors will need to travel to Olympia, WA (we will arrange transportation, cover all traveling costs and supply lodging) for a several-day shoot. Actor availability will determine when the Olympia shoot will take place, but availability from Dec. 12-18 is preferred.

If you would like to play as a minor character instead of those listed above, please contact us anyway. There are many small characters who may only be required for one day of shooting, as well as some who will be needed for several days.

Also required are acrobats/stage fighters/stuntmen/dancers to serve as minor characters in Dorian's acting troupe. Fight scene experience and/or acrobatic ability a plus.

Auditions will be held on the following days:

Friday, November 20th (4 PM - 9 PM)
Saturday, November 21st (4 PM - 9 PM)
Sunday, November 22nd (11 AM - 4 PM)
