Casting Call

Director Joe Osuna seeks eight Leisure World actors to perform in four skits. No experience is necessary, and any sex or age is okay, but everyone must be able to use the Zoom video-conferencing software.

For each skit, two actors will face each other in a Zoom meeting using a virtual green background (to be provided by the director). The actors will compliment each other on what they are wearing or politely talk about their woes or how their day went.

In post-production, the Zoom grid lines separating the actors will be removed, so that each skit’s two actors will appear as if they’re in the same room at the same time. Special effects will be used to insert thought bubbles expressing the characters’ real thoughts, which do not reflect what the actors are saying.

The video is recorded with two actors at a time. When the first skit is done, the Zoom meeting for the next skit (featuring two different actors) will start, and so on.

If you and a friend want to be paired together, let Osuna know. For more details or to sign up, contact Osuna at joosuna29a@gmail. com, or text him at (562) 822-8216.
