NYU Short Film Audition

So we're holding auditions this Friday the 18th from 1-5pm at the NYU SCPS space at 82 Washington Square East, Room B6. Actors should shoot an email to ricosclass@gmail.com with a headshot and resume for a slot. Below is a breakdown of the short film still being cast. Actors need to bring a prepared short monologue.


Brief description: Dissolution of a relationship amidst an awkward, and possibly haunted, dinner party.

Male lead: 20-27. An inveterate prankster of semi-independent means who usually takes things too far. Childish but endearing. Charming. Funny. Attempting to rekindle his relationship by moving into a hastily acquired home with his girlfriend. Boyfriend of female lead. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Female lead: 20-30. An intense and somewhat controlling woman with an unexpected impulsive streak. Maybe not perfectly compatible with her boyfriend, but comfortable. She has a secret, and will go to great lengths to protect her relationship. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Supporting male: 20-27. Childhood friend of male lead. Hipster, lame. Intoxicated with himself. Pines for his friend's girlfriend. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Supporting female: 20-30. Recent friend / acquaintance of female lead. Unwitting blind date of supporting male. Reserved comedic persona (Aubrey Plaza-like) hiding a quick intelligence and perceptive ability.


The actual shoot will be in Brooklyn, rehearsals starting the 24th or soon after, and shooting most likely the following week.

Thanks so much for your help!
