PORTLAND, Ore., July 26 / -- Today, Portland's Lana Veenker Casting announced that locally-based filmmaker Gus Van Sant will hold open casting calls on Thursday, Aug. 3 (1 p.m.-8 p.m.) and Saturday, Aug. 5 (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) to fill starring and supporting roles in his upcoming independent film project, "Paranoid Park." The casting calls, open to males and females ages 14-18, will be held at the Ambridge Event Center (300 NE Multnomah, Portland, Ore., 97232), and aim to uncover fresh talent to effectively portray the real-life attitudes and emotions of high-school aged youth. Experienced actors are also welcome to audition, but no acting background is necessary to attend the two calls, which will serve as the primary casting process for the film. |
