Casting Notice For Adult Education (a Working Title) by atoluti21: 2:09pm On May 07, 2013 |
Casting begins for Adult Education, a short film about a man who decides at the age of 30+ to return to secondary school. It will be produced by Lopesidedworks in conjunction with the London Film School, and directed by Tolulope Itegboje. Principal Photography slated to begin between July and August (Date TBD) for 1week. We are currently casting for the following roles: OLIVER – male lead, early to mid 30s, average build More than anything else in the world, Oliver wants to be sensationalized. He wants to be successful; to have made it, and to have whatever bit of celebrity comes out of that. He has tried everything, and yet the success and good fortune he seeks have eluded him. The only option he has left is to get the education he gave up a long time ago. He is nice and friendly but dumb wittingly so, and is oblivious to the fact that people usually find him insufferable. FEMALE LEAD, late 20s to early 30s, small to average build Our female lead is a teacher at the school. She is one of those women who wishes she could be more, and the fact that she isn't has left her disappointed, angry. She used to be an optimist believing if she did everything the right way, she'd end up on solid ground, and that didn't happen, so she rebels. By making a string of occasionally bad decisions. PRINCIPAL ADEJORO – male, late 40s to early 50s, medium build Principal Adejoro is the head of the secondary school Oliver enrolls in. He is a typical bureaucrat who will do anything to please his higher ups as he climbs the professional ladder. In an ideal world, he would be the principal of a school in the west, where he is enabled to do great things like teach students with computers and ipads in an internet enabled environment, and graduate astronauts and aeronautical engineers as opposed to his current situation, where at best he can graduate a couple of laborers and bricklayers. Like Oliver, he wants to be the center of attention, to be regarded with the utmost awe and respect as a man of genius and intellect. When Oliver comes into the fold, and begins to steal some of his attention, there is a problem. MR. OLADIMEJI – male, mid 30s to early 40s, medium build Mr. Oladimeji is a senior officer and mathematics teacher at the school. He is very self important, and walks around with an air of authority and sense of being indispensable. He holds said authority over the other teachers, and likes to think of himself as the principal’s right hand relishing every opportunity to perform any task that the principal gives. He is the most ardent proponent of the principal’s “eradicate nonsense in all shapes forms and sizes” constantly holding a cane and quick to discipline or punish errant students. In fact, it can be said that he sniffs trouble, and is always around the corner to catch any in progress. He is the kind of guy who believes in what he calls “divine appointment” i.e. he was specially made for the job of being a teacher, and the job was made for him. He also likes to think of himself as a cool guy, constantly wearing a bluetooth earpiece, which he must think is cool, a shirt and tie, and always holding his signature thin cane in his hand. METHOD OF APPLICATION Submit Headshot, Background Info and work samples during the week commencing Monday May 6th, 2013 to: A Whitespace 58 Raymond Njoku Street Off Awolowo Road Ikoyi, Lagos. Attn.: Tolu Itegboje By email: Email: adultedcasting@gmail.com Subject line: Oliver, Principal Adejoro, Female lead, Mr. Oladimeji (Basically the role you are applying for). Callbacks will take place the following week commencing Monday May 13th for shortlisted applicants. Best wishes. |
