Casting for a Feature Film
Re: Casting for a Feature Film
You cross post at EGAFD and here with same request.
I don't get it.
There aren't other professional outlets to post/publicize such a request, since
it involves legitimate filmmaking (by your definition: a "huge British feature film")?
I don't know much about movie casting (in UK or elsewhere), and whether all those
things outlined in your message have a particular relevancy in being able to land
such a coveted role.
And why would you need to know whether the she-male in question "drives"? Drives
what? Does the role require the person to actually drive (forklift, car, van, truck, boat)
in that particular scene? Or is it being asked to determine whether the person
needs some type of transportation to get from/to the movie set?
And as for "Chest, Waist, Inside Leg, Shoe, Collar, etc." is it for costume fitting? Your
company will be supplying the relevant costumes/clothing?
And "nationality"? Perhaps movie casting works differently from general employment
legal parameters, but at least in North America a prospective employer would not
be able to ask or pursue that line of questioning.
And most of all, does the role require some/any amount of nudity, sexy wear, etc? If
a number of she-males are required and the male actors are supposedly unsuspecting of
their gender, I suspect that there is some comedic "situation" in which these "ladies"
actual sexuality is revealed in some way? Meaning perhaps some nudity, etc?
Not trying to be snarky, but I am very intrigued by this shopping list of requirements
to be able to land a brief "extra" role in a legit UK movie.
