Casting Call: Eleventh Man – Filming Spring 2016

February 6, 2016 by Rob Lindner

Casting-Call-01Hello Sandpoint Filmmaker Actors! I would like to invite you to auditions for the Promo Film for “The Eleventh Man”. Auditions will be held at the Little Panida Theater in Sandpoint Idaho on February 13th at 2:00 PM. The casting call happens to be right after our monthly SFN meeting.

We will have actors read for the roles of Kimberly, Jason, Matty, Giz, Digger and Old Men 1-3. Please take a look at pages 4-9 (The promo scenes) from the script for the auditions and let me know as soon as possible if you will be there and/or if you have any questions. Thanks in advance for your interest in “The Eleventh Man”, and we look forward to seeing you in person on February 13th!

Short summary: After a devastating loss, a paramedic leaves his life in the city for a fresh start in the country. Instincts and morals push him to fight when a new evil puts his life and fledgling happiness into danger.
