FEATURE FILM - YARMOUTH- Background Performers: BEARDS!

Production Type: Feature Film
Location: Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Shoot Dates: April 9 - ? (shoot dates TBC)
Rate Of Pay: Actra BG Rates apply


Project Brief: We have a preference for folks in Yarmouth (or close by) but we will consider ANY resident of Nova Scotia if they fit the character description and the listed costume sizes. Travel & accommodation will be covered by production IF necessary. We also have a preference for ACTRA union members, but will consider non members as well. 
We do not yet have a shoot schedule, these roles will likely play in the first couple of days, and likely just for one day. (I'll know more soon). This shoot will rely on what the weather is doing up in Yarmouth, so everyone pray for rain, drizzle & fog! If you're interested, you'll need to have a flexible schedule and be able to work when they need you.

Required Talent:
It is the 1890’s, no bright unnatural hair colours. NO VISIBLE TATTOOS ON THE NECK. HANDS OR FACE. The more natural you look, the better. 
No modern haircuts or shaved hairstyles. You should be willing to have your hair/beard styled as necessary to suit the period if you are cast.
PHOTOS  ARE FOR REFERENCE - just to give you the basic look we're going for!
