Actors needed for feature film

LOOKING FOR MALE ACTORS OF THAI OR MALAYSIAN BACKGROUND OR APPEARANCE

In November, filming will begin on an experimental feature film, MOTHER FISH. MOTHER FISH tells the story of a group of refugees who flee Vietnam by boat. MOTHER FISH will be a low budget production directed by Khoa Do (FOOTY LEGENDS, THE FINISHED PEOPLE).

We are currently looking for actors to fulfil the following roles:

1. FISHERMAN: Male (40’s – 60’s): Thai or Malay appearance or background. He has been a fisherman for most of his life and his face and actions show. Underneath a rough exterior he is a gentle soul.

2. POLICE CAPTAIN: Male (30’s – 50’s): Thai or Malay appearance or background. He has an inner strength and energy that explodes when you least expect it. An “Asian Al Pacino”, he is someone who is both calm and explosive.

3. POLICEMAN: Male (20’s – 30’s): Thai or Malay appearance or background. He maintains his composure despite having to act inhumanely, following orders.

4. PIRATE: Male (20’s – 30’s): Thai or Malay appearance or background. He is strong in both character and physique. He has spent the last five years robbing and pillaging. He has developed an ability to shut himself off from the ability to care.
