——
Award-winning Louisiana filmmaker Zack Godshall is holding open casting calls in Lafayette, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge for his new film THE PREACHER AND THE SALESMAN. The film pits a country preacher against a traveling salesmen and a few precocious kids in a southern retelling of the Pied Piper legend.

Godshall is currently looking for Caucasian boys and girls, ages 10-14, for starring, featured, and extra roles. No acting experience necessary.

The characters are rough and tumble country kids who have grown up poor and unsupervised. They act very mature for their age. The more headstrong and confident the better.

Zack Godshall’s first two feature films (LOW AND BEHOLD and LORD BYRON) premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival and have won notoriety at film festivals around the world. You can learn more about him and his films at: zackgodshall.com

GOD’S ARCHITECTS wins in the Ozarks

calponia — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:12:26 +0000

God’s Architects recently won the Audience Award at the Ozark Foothills Film Fest in Batesville, Arkansas. Thank you, Batesville. I was also fortunate enough to attend this fine festival last weekend (March 25-27), as was Shelby Ravellette. Along with hanging with Shelby and eating salami sandwiches at the Sturches, one of the highlights of the weekend was watching the restored version of Metropolis with a live musical accompaniment by the Alloy Orchestra. Something to behold indeed.
