Casting Calls: Male Aged 30-45 for Short Film

Warhol is an award winning dark comedic script with a run time of 15 minutes, during which it holds a mirror up to the celebrity obsessed world within which we live. How far will a person go, or allow themselves to be pushed in order to achieve their fifteen minutes of fame? ‘Warhol’ demonstrates how the media can influence, and in this case manipulate their audience, at times with disturbing consequences.

The lack of night owls, insomniacs and lovelorn housewives, means he is having trouble flexing his tabloid muscles.

Casting Calls – Aritha

Croftie’s partner. A postal worker. Solid and determined
