MASTER CLASS IN PARIS and thanks to RED TAILS SUBMISSIONS

I'll be teaching my master class in Paris next month.Yay! Currently it's confirmed for 18-19 April, which would be the week-end. Please contact Rosy to book at: agencerosylary@free.fr

Also thanks to everyone who submitted themselves or came in for auditions for Red Tails. We are at the end of the casting process. It has been quite difficult to cast from Prague since the physical and type requirements are quite tight. We needed almost exclusively small and very young black men, of which there were few. Even the white roles were quite specific, calling for an American accent and younger than most of the roles we cast from here.  I got hundreds of submissions from eager actors who just didn't fit the bill. 
Thanks for your interest.

RED TAILS IS UP ON THE CASTING SCENE

REDTAILS
directed by Anthony Hemingway
produced by: George Lucas and Rick McCallum
shooting in Prague: April - June 09

It's the story of African American pilots fighting during World War II.


For any African American actors who are willing to work as locals in Prague, please see The Casting Scene website. You can view sides and record yourself on a webcam and I'll view the casting. I am not accepting submission from white actors who live outside of Prague at the moment. 

Sorry, girls, no roles for females. We'll have to write our own film, but that's a subject for another time.
