The film will be shot in Oldham
Award winning filmmakers Mat Johns and Chris Lane are searching for a young actress to play a lead role in their upcoming BFI funded short film ‘Inertia’, which is to be shot in and around Oldham later this month.
The role that the pair are looking to fill is that of Rabia Kham, a Bengali girl, aged 14 years old.
Acting experience is preferred but not essential and 16 year olds with a playing age of 14 are encouraged to apply.
Mat and Chris's last short film, 'A Father’s Day’, was very successful on the film festival circuit, playing at over 150 festivals and winning 30 awards.
Since being launched online the film has had over 1.8 million views on YouTube alone.
Auditions are scheduled to take place in Manchester on 14th August and the shoot dates are the 29th, 30th, 31st August and 1st September.
