Paper Dolls The Movie Secondary Roles Talents Needed
Description
A film version of the coming of age series “Paper Doll$,” in which girls from varying backgrounds, households, and lifestyles come together to form a club (“Paper Doll$”), but have to navigate through challenges in school and their personal lives to sustain this club.
Plans to submit to festivals and other platforms. Infini Entertainment is responsible for several independent films such as It Takes a Village. Shoots from late February in South Suburbs of Chicago. Hope to go no longer than April, but depends on weather conditions.
Pay is a stipend with amount to be determined and based on the type of role. You will get your stipend if and when you complete your role. Meals provided for 4 hours. Otherwise, will provide refreshments.
Note: The stipend might not be a large amount as there are lots of cast members involved and we don’t know yet the financial results of the project. Take this into consideration before auditioning and/or joining. IMDb credit provided for role you complete.
