‘Bulwark’

• Casting “Bulwark,” a short film about

positive forces defending the vulnerability of Earth from the negative. If they are successful, peace will continue. If they are not, the Earth will surely show its displeasure which could cost human lives.

• Company: University of Southern

California. Staff: Rob Monroe, dir.- writer.

• Shoots Feb. 26-27 and Mar. 5-6 (dates

are subject to change) in L.A.

• Seeking—Orit: male, 19-26, all ethnici-

ties, attentive, strong, flowing; new to this battle (mentioned in the production description), but he is ready; a sponge to any and all teaching and courageous enough to test his limits. He is eager, yet focused. He is the “young Obi-Wan” of this story. Note: Must have extensive Martial Arts experience (provide reel or video sample). Yerxa: male, 28-38, all ethnicities, seasoned; wise, discerning. He is strong and powerful, but more often chooses restraint. He loves to teach and loves to see his teachings flourish in his students; objective driven and will do what is necessary to accomplish the mission at hand. Note: Must have extensive Martial Arts experience (provide reel or video sample). Isaura: female, 25-35, all ethnicities, is... well, she’s bada** in a royal kind of way. She is the guardian of the Alsu Temple. She is direct, elegant, decorous. She is water: soft when at peace, but a tsunami when she needs to be. Note: Must have extensive Martial Arts experience (provide reel or video sample). Artis: male, 25-30, all ethnicities, isn’t someone you want to oppose. His walk alone, steady and smooth is enough to tell you he’s a bad man. His eyes are focused but behind them is anger, passion, and a plan. He’s not to be tamed and will only adhere to those who are in extreme power. That is, until, he is strong enough to overtake them. Note: Must have extensive Martial Arts experience (provide reel or video sample). Hanoff: male, 35-50, all ethnicities, the voice of Hades, thunderous, and not the voice you ever want to hear. When he speaks, everything and everyone listens. He demands, and expects the demands to be followed. This role will only be saying one word, “Return!” Visual Effects Artist (Sci-Fi, Fantasy): all genders, 18+, all ethnicities, to create a visual, pulsating beacon. For this project, we will also be looking for energy flashes of sorts when our characters’ main blow connects (fist to fist as if to stalemate).

• Seeking—Kit: female, 9-12, Asian, Black

/ African Descent, Ethnically Ambiguous / Multiracial, Indigenous Peoples, Latino / Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian / Indian, Southeast Asian / Pacific Islander, a shy but stubborn girl who is very passionate about doing the things she wants uses her creativity to try to overcome her insecurity. Naturally playful and dramatic talks like an adult but in an endearing way. Smart but too naive to know why she doesn’t fit in. Clarence: male, 26-35, Asian, Black / African Descent, Ethnically Ambiguous / Multiracial, Indigenous Peoples, Latino / Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian / Indian, Southeast Asian / Pacific Islander, a single father who lost Kit’s mom when she was little and is now struggling with his daughter’s rapid ascent into adulthood. He is a bit bumbling and machismo and is growing up with his daughter, so he is very overprotective of her. He tries to balance his inability to say no to his daughter with his insecurity over being both a mother and a father. Works a grueling day job, has no help at home. Miss Morgan: female, 26-35, all ethnicities, Kit’s well-meaning, soft teacher
