Details:

Presenting a range of acting opportunities for a student film entitled The Hat. Shooting days, the 14th to the 18th of July at Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus. (Actors won’t be needed for every day of shooting).

SYNOPSIS:
The Hat - It’s not your typical night in The Hat, a mysterious night club located inside the mind of a young man thriving with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities). In fact, it’s a special occasion. Every time a personality becomes aware of the others sharing the body, they are initiated into the fold with a big celebration. To the dismay of the other guests, Matthew has better ideas and chooses to skip his own party, leaving the others disappointed but eager to pick apart his character.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION:
Production Title: The Hat
Project Length: Short Film (10-15 minutes)
Production location: Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus
Director: Bowie Wang, Tom Linton
Cinematographer: Philip Reinking

KEY DATES:
Auditions: 1st of July, Bournemouth University, Talbot campus
Shooting Week: July 14-July 18, 2017

Ideally, the shoot should only take five days, but it would be safer to account for the possibility of it being slightly longer. If any of the following characters peak your interest, we are auditioning actors this Saturday the 1st of July at Bournemouth University, Talbot campus. Please get in contact for details, further information regarding characters, us as film makers and or a copy of the script.

CHARACTER BIOS:
MATTHEW (MALE, 19-25) On the surface, Matthew is an intelligent and charming young man with a somewhat child like demeanor that draws people in. Yet internally he is manipulative, callous and lacking in empathy. He’s not all bad though, he seems to recognise that something is missing in his life though he is lacking the emotional drive to do something about it.

Elijah (MALE, 25-40) Elijah is smart, elegant, wise, a fancy dresser yet slightly arrogant and elitist. Although no clear leader has emerged within the Hat, it seems the other personalities look to Elijah for guidance.

Unnamed (for now) Drag Queen (MALE, 20-30) This drag performer is as flamboyant as they come. Argumentative and funny but her comedy often comes across rude. She frequently takes things too far, causing herself unnecessary aggro.

Cynthia (FEMALE, 30-45) A white aging hippie (think Erica Jones from Orange Is The New Black). Cynthia resides in the ear, keeping to herself as she’s somewhat mousey. Seen as wise yet nervous by people but always helpful nonetheless.

Young Matthew (MALE 6 – 10) A distant child with some obvious emotional problems. Matthew is mute and somewhat withdrawn from the other personalities. Note that the script indicates that this child was abused at a young age but nothing is actually seen in the film and no conversations directly with the child are privy to that.
