Actors for documentary

Organisation/person name: 
RPE
Work type: 
Casual
Work classification: 
Acting
Job description: 

I'm filming a 10min doumentary in Feb 2010 in Auckland.

I'm looking for actors who can talk candedly on camera about how to communicate when it comes to being intimate with someone.The actors need to be over 16, but they need to look younger that 18.

I work for a organisation called "Rape Prevention Education" I go round to high schools and talk to kids about sexual violence prevention, we encourage healthy respectful relationships and it is a great job.

The short film would be styled like this post secret film.

It would not be about rape, it would be asking people about sex, how they say yes, how they say no, and what their first sexual exp was like. Did they talk? How did they talk about it?

The thought behind this is we don't really talk about sex, especially kids. It is seen as being a "mood killer" if you speak up in sexual situations. So this short film would be used to show that lots of people have had issues talking, and how they were able (or not) to get over this.

This will not be scripted, to be honest I would love to know what you guys really think, and what happened to you. The reason for getting actors is I assume you guys are way better in front of a camera than Joe off the street, and could probably talk more openly and honestly than non-actors.

In the end I'll use this for funding and (fingers crossed) be able to do something much bigger than this. It is at the moment self funded, so there is no money in it at all.

 

Please flick me an email if you would like more info about this project, or if you would like to know more about my credentials as a filmmaker.
