A Port Moody filmmaker is directing her first full-length horror movie this year.
And she’s calling on Tri-City teens to be part of the show.
Sarah Benson of Film Fox Entertainment has posted signs on light standards around the City Centre neighbourhood to invite emerging actors — ages 14 to 18 — to audition for Adder’s Creek.
Benson said she’s hoping the thriller will be screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival next year.
The plot centres on the character Nathan Miller, a Grade 12 student who, with his friends, discovers corpses and cult symbols around town before his brother disappears.
Benson, who is also the screenwriter, editor and creator, told the Tri-City News today, July 3, that the flick will be shot around the Tri-Cities and posted on YouTube once complete.
Her production company is looking for participants to be available from late August to October — mostly on the weekends and sometimes after school — to play the following roles:
- Don and Paris
- siblings of Korean descent
- Nicky
- a young adult of African descent
- Anaise
- a Muslim girl
- Becca
- an androgynous teen
There is no remuneration.
The entry deadline for the casting call is Wednesday, July 10, by emailing [email protected].
