"20th Century Woman" Open Casting Call Details
The casting directors for the feature film "20th Century Woman" are looking for males and females, 18 years of age and older, to appear in the film as fully paid extras and featured background actors. Shooting will take place in Santa Barbara, CA beginning the week of October 19, 2015. The scenes take place in 1979, so more natural looks for ladies, and shaggier hair for men - facial hair is also good. But ALL shapes and sizes are welcome to attend the open casting call. Also needed are men who can portray migrant workers - ages 18 to 75 years old. If you have a car from 1979 or older, your vehicle is also needed, so bring the car with you to the open casting call, or bring photos of your car.
