Young accordion player sought for feature film - posted 18.9.2009

Orla O’Connor, an Edinburgh-based casting director, is currently on the hunt for a young male accordion player aged between 14-20, to star as the lead in an exciting new Scottish feature film which will shoot in America next year. The screenplay is called ‘Dirt Road to Lafayette’, is written by Booker Prize-winner James Kelman, and charts the journey of a 16-year-old realising his potential as an artist. Orla is looking for a great young musician with a desire to act. She will be searching Scotland during the coming months, and would like to hear about any talented young male players - previous acting experience is not required. If you know of anybody Orla should be looking at, you can contact her via e-mail: searchforaccordionplayer@gmail.com
