Feature film with Glee star opens auditions for Castlegar actors
By Kyra Hoggan
There’s a casting call out for Castlegar residents, for a feature film located right here in our town. Kris Woznesensky, of Kara and Kris Casting, says they have bit parts for actors of all ages, sizes and ethnicities, to film alongside Glee star Dianna Agron in a movie called Hollow in the Land.
“It’s very exciting,” he said. “The script is brilliantly written, very gritty and dark.”
Casting will be at the Fireside Inn this Sunday, Sept. 27.
“We’re looking to cast 16-20 local actors – it’s a pretty open net,” Woznesensky said. “Filming will be in the second week of October and last about a month, so roughly from Oct. 6 to Nov. 7.”
He said it’s hard to predict when the movie will be released, but it will probably be within a year or so.
The feature film Hollow in the Land is looking to cast local actors from Castlegar.
“Scooter Corkle, an award-winning director, is coming back to his hometown to make this movie,” he said.
He said the story line is as follows: “Young pulp mill employee Alison Miller is raising her young brother Braydon in the shadow of the family scandal that has blighted their lives and landed their father in prison. But when Braydon is sought for a murder he may not have committed, Alison launches her own investigation to find her missing brother and unearth the truth — only to find herself on the lam from the law and in increasing danger with every twist and turn of the case…”
The lead role of ‘Alison’ will be played by Glee star Dianna Agron. The other actors on board who will be joining us in Castlegar are Shawn Ashmore (The Following, X-Men) and Michael Rogers (Beyond the Black Rainbow).
