Casting Call & Auditions- Dancers and Actors Needed!

***HIPSTER COMPTON THROWDOWN SPECTACULAR***
*****CASTING CALL & AUDITIONS*****

CRG Productions is looking for principal and supporting cast for a production with tentative shooting dates beginning in mid-February through early March.

Here are the principal roles and descriptions:

1. Kimberly Guggenheim: 17-24 year old Caucasian female. Moderate to advanced level of classical dance training, ballet or jazz preferred. Must be comfortable with on-screen kissing (no tongue).

2. X-Ray: 17-24 year old African American male. Moderate to advanced level of street and break dancing skills. Must be comfortable with on-screen kissing (no tongue).

3. Chop Stix: 17-24 year old Asian American male. Moderate to advanced level of street and break dancing skills.

4. Keith Jones: Middle-aged African American male. Some voice acting experience a plus. Must be good with children.

5. Mr. Farley: Caucasian male in his 50's or 60's. Must be good with children.
Eagle Eye: 17-24 year old Hispanic/Latino male. Moderate to advanced level of street and break dancing skills.

6. Mr. Guggenheim: Middle-aged Caucasian male with a stern, fatherly demeanor.

7. Mrs. Guggenheim: Middle-aged Caucasian female with an aristocratic charm.

8. Mr. Chow: Middle-aged Asian-American. Businessman/Mob Boss type

9. Gangster #1: Asian male, mid-twenties- early thirties.

10. Eagle Eye: Latino male, 17-24. Moderate to advanced level of street and break dance skills.

11. Cold Cut Keef: 17-24 year old African American male. Public speaking skills a plus.

12. Young Billy: Caucasian male 8-15 years old.

13. Nicolai: mid 30's Caucasian male. Some ballet experience a plus, but not requisite.

14. Scott: Caucasian male in early twenties.

15. Architect: male 24-40

16. Stripper: younger female comfortable being on screen in lingerie. Some lap dancing required.


MOST of these roles contain at least one line of dialogue, so actors with dance skill are preferred, but we encourage dancers interested in acting to try out as well.

Supporting roles of back-up dancers are also needed so if you aren't cast for a principal role there is a very good chance you will be cast for a supporting role!

This will be cut as if it were a "trailer" for a full-length feature. This will also be shopped and submitted to many film festivals around the country, with the idea of raising the money to produce an actual full-length film.

Pre-production Begins

The first draft has been written. This is in the form of a trailer we imagine for the full-length feature, as it would have existed 20 years ago...
