Casting Call! Dramatic role for documentary

We are producing a short film on a very sensitive and stigmatized topic.

The focus is on an invisible population that is part of the collateral damage surrounding sexual offences: the partners of the offender and their decision to stay with their partner who has offended sexually.

Due to the sensitivities of the subject matter, we cannot reveal the identity of the subject (based on a true story) and therefore will be filming abstract dramatizations. The scenes will reflect themes of:

- family
- isolation
- loneliness
- fear & anxiety
- love and hope

Lead Roles:
Woman - around 30 - 40 yrs, any ethnicity (2 days, paid)
Man - around 30 -40 yrs, any ethnicity (1/2 day, honorarium)
Boy - around 7 - 10yrs, any ethnicity (1/2 day, honorarium)
Girl - around 10 - 14 yrs, any ethnicity (1/2 day, honorarium)

Background Actors:

3 adults, any age, ethnicity (1/4 day, honorarium)

Please send photos/reel to casting [at] roscofilms [dot] com.

We will be filming in middle of November in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Own transportation a must!

THE ELMIRA CASE Premiere at Peace On Earth Film Festival!

The Elmira Case - Official Trailer from Jonathan Steckley on Vimeo.

Film Festivals are awesome. Especially when they're screening our film! Last weekend, Jonathan and I drove down to Chicago for a short weekend to screen our short doc, The Elmira Case. We shot it last year and finished it late 2014 (more or less, with a few tweaks to do). We produced it in partnership with Community Justice Initiatives, a local restorative justice organization that was created in the aftermath of the Elmira Case in 1974.

It's been a very rewarding experience producing this short and seeing how this small case in a small town started a revolution that is changing the world, one case at a time.

Stay tuned on our facebook page for the Canadian premiere this summer/fall!
