Valley Wind
Productions is currently casting its latest feature,
Legend of
Oz is a modern evolution of the classic children's tale "The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. -- When a
powerless and unassuming girl named Dot is transported from
her foster parents' farm in a martial-law state to the
broken Empire of Oz, her quest to get home finds her teaming
up with bizarre companions and squaring off against wicked
tyrants in a fight beyond anything she thought herself
capable of.
Lead roles being cast include:
Dot*
– A twenty(ish) ‘every girl’, destined to be a legend.
Youthful, athletic, energetic. 18+.
Fright*
– A genetically engineered pseudo-human. A
thin and somewhat awkward sort, he’s Dot’s first companion
and a clueless know-it-all. Male. 18-30.
Circuit*
– A Cyborg with the body of a machine and soul of a man.
Tall, strong and brooding, he becomes Dot’s second
companion. Male. 30s/40s.
Savage*
– A human-lion hybrid right out of Dr. Moreau’s island.
Quick, agile, bearing a sarcastic wit, Savage is Dot’s third
companion. Male. 20s.
Plus an
array of secondary characters Dot will meet including the
despotic witches* (female, 20s), the cryptically named
Wizard (male, 30s), Em and Henry (male/female, 40+), the
various denizens of Oz (male/female, many ages), and the
Winged Monkeys/Wheelers/Winkies* (male/female, 18+,
fighters).
* Fight
training/martial arts/dance or similar will be a plus.
Legend of
Oz will be shot on location in Ottawa, ON and surrounding
areas starting in mid-July and running through August.
Shooting will take place primarily on weekends (Sat/Sun).
Cast will be expected to be able to maintain flexible
schedules during that period (leads should expect to be on
set up to 80% of the time) plus for other commitments
(rehearsals, fight training, etc).
Auditions
start on Saturday March 14, and continue for three weekends
with additional days scheduled if needed. Actors of all
experience and disciplines are welcome but this is a
non-union opportunity.
Valley Wind is also casting younger actors for a short film
related to Legend of Oz. Further information on all of our
upcoming productions, is available at
