Looking for 200 extras all ages and types.
ROCKLAND
—A casting call will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the
Tradewinds Motor Inn in Rockland on Saturday, Sept. 28, for the
movie,Catatonk
Blues,
set to begin filming later this month in Rockland, Rockport, and
Augusta.
The
script, by former New York Congressman and part-time Monhegan
resident Robert Mrazek, tells the story of Charlie Winship, a
burned-out Congressman from Maine. As a young marine, Winship
survived the battle at Khe San in Vietnam. His anger over the war has
led to nearly two decades in the political trenches of Washington and
the loss of his marriage.
In
Catatonk
Blues,
Winship is accused of defaming one of the nation's most revered
patriotic symbols while cut off from communications on an island
fighting to save its way of life from international fishing
interests.
Actor
Treat William has been cast to play Winship. Mrazek is co-directing
with actor and director Jared Martin.
Local
Maine non-union extras, ages 18-70, are needed to play tourists,
Congressional staffers, Congressmen, political supporters, television
crew members, and fishermen. Half-day scenes to be shot in Rockland
in early October require two hundred extras, all ages, male and
female, to play a cross section of Maine citizens including Charlie's
constituents, veterans, teachers, lobstermen, and laborers.
Compensation
for non-union extras is set at $7.50 per hour with mainland filming
scheduled for Sept 20-Oct 7. Time and a half will be paid after eight
hours in the same day. Performers must be available for the full day.
Interested
parties should be at the Tradewinds Motor Inn, 2 Park Drive in
Rockland, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, and
available to work thereafter.
