We are looking for a Bristol based (or nearby) male actor for a ‘one man show’ 90 second film to be made by members of the BBC Bristol Film Club. Filming will take place over o­ne day during the last 2 weeks of April (date still-to-be confirmed) and the film will be entered into a local film festival in the autumn. It is to be shot o­n Super 16mm film but will be mute so there will be no dialogue. It is a lo-no budget production so unfortunately a fee cannot be paid - minimal travel expenses, lunch and a copy of the film will be provided. The working title of the film is 'To love a lost o­ne' and is about a man who tries to say goodbye to his wife who has passed away. He experiences, for the first time, being apart from her o­n their wedding anniversary. The sole character we are looking for will be aged 50-70 (nationality / ethnicity is not important). He will be dressed in a suit, wear a wedding ring and will perform the following tasks:

• write in a wedding anniversary card at a kitchen table
• carry a photo of his wife with him into a restaurant and order two meals
• pour a glass of wine & raise a toast to the photo
• drunkenly stumble home with the photo
• drunkenly dance with the photo to music playing from a record player
• sit up in bed, place the photo in a drawer & blow out a candle

A brief casting session will be held the second week after Easter in Bristol. Please send photo and CV
