Casting Call - The Elmira Case

It's been a while, folks! We've had our heads buried in a number of projects and there are updates on the way. In the meantime - here is a casting call for our latest project:

The Elmira Case is a short documentary about a vandalism case in 1974 that changed the way people around the world thought about justice. Part of the film will be re-enactments of key characters and events in 1974 which necessitates period costumes and props. Shooting will take place in Waterloo Region. 

There are NO speaking lines so emoting with the eyes is important.

Shooting will take place in mid-May, 2014.
