Immersion - Call For Auditions - 2008/01/30 08:43
"Immersion" is a short fiction film about MOISES (about 10 years old,
Latino) who has just come to California from Mexico. He is trying to
learn English but he is struggling because the classroom is crowded,
the teacher can't understand Spanish, and no one speaks English at
home. ALICIA (about 10 years old, Latina) is friendly with Moises,
but ENRIQUE (about 10 years old, Latino) picks on him. We are also
casting for the roles of Moises' FATHER (Latino, early 40's, pushy)
and MOTHER (Latina, early 40's, sweet), BROTHER (Latino, early 20's,
burly), TEACHER (30's, Caucasian) and PRINCIPAL (40's or older,
Latino). The characters (except for the teacher) speak mostly in
Spanish in the film.
The film is a non-profit project, sponsored by Film Arts Foundation
in San Francisco. There is more about the film, including a 3-minute
trailer, at http://www.immersionfilm.com.

12th St., Ste. 271 Oakland, CA 94601.
