Casting Call for Lead Role in a Park Triangle Production!
Park Triangle Productions is in search of the lead actor and DP for Types in Stereo, a dramatic short that is slated for production in late spring/early summer.
THE FILM
Types in Stereo is about how we can exist in multiple spaces. Stereotypes make light of those things which are either generally accepted, popularly true or made myth through misinterpretation.
This short film will bring us in and out of the world of stereotypes.

For the lead actor, we are looking for a white male, early to late 40s, average height, slim to average build. If you are starting to gray around the edges, that's a bonus.

PROFESSOR DAVID MORRIS: He's the typical Academic in manner and appearance. He loves what he does and is a voracious reader and writer. Amid all his success and joy of living, he has a drug habit. He keeps it under control for the most part but his attempt to hide it causes most of his problems. To keep his habit out of view from his colleagues, he scores in the seedier parts of the city.
THE DP
We are also looking for a DP with at least 3-4 years of professional experience under his/her belt. Must have a solid HD/Film reel to be considered.
THE LOOK
The look we are going for is a gritty, in-your-face documentary-style, in the essence of NYPD Blue or The Shield. Two cameras; 1st camera-Car mount or dolly. 2nd camera-Either hand-held or Steadicam. Cameras provided.
THE DEAL
Both opportunities are paid positions.
