Needing two actors, supporting actors, extras and crew
I'm a filmmaker living in Koreatown. I am currently working on a script for my first feature and need to cast my lead characters and supporting actors before Halloween in order to shoot a scene on that day. The characters are a young adult Korean male, and young adult Latina female.
About the story: I would like to explore Koreatown as a place where Hispanic and Korean cultures intertwine and have an almost utilitarian relationship. But through the two characters show how these two cultures can learn different things from each other. This is not a love story. If you walk west of Alvarado up to Western, north Olympic up to Beverly, you'll have a sense of the feel of the scenes. The movie is in part about the taco stand under the huge Korean signs where Koreans and Hispanics line up to buy food but keep to themselves.
About the Methodology of the film: Because this is a low to no budget film, I am putting a lot of work on research, pre production, location scouting, etc, in order to write the script around the parameters that are within my reach. Needless to say, this would be a joined effort where I would ask actors, and everyone involved to help enrich this project. That is, for us to join forces in getting access to shooting locations for example, wardrobe (traditional country costumes for example), other actors, etc.
For Actors: This will be very challenging because a lot will have to do with languages, the movie will cover Korean, Spanish, English, and at times the Korean actor might be asked to try to speak Spanish, and vice-versa for the Latin Actress. I would like very serious actors for these roles that are willing to share this experience with me and enrich the characters. I don't want stereotypes. this last point is crucial.
I offer credit, and food for your time. I don't expect to have a 9 to 5 solid shooting schedule but your willingness to work around each other's schedules to make this happen is priceless.
thank your for taking the time to read this ad and considering to collaborate.

Korean male
Males, aged 18 to 25 from the United States
Comes from a working family background and doesn't quite fit in the hip Korean crowd. He struggles between pursuing his dream of filmmaking, reason why he immigrated from Korea, and meeting his family expectations from back home to become a successful businessman. Is overwhelmed by constant pressure from tradition, and a tight Korean society. His life has been discipline, work, obedience, expectations, and for the first time is on his own away from his immediate family to make his own decisions.

Latina female
Females, aged 18 to 25 from the United States
Comes from a working class background, highly educated, and gave up the corporate world in New York to move to LA, to pursue a career as a video artist. She immigrated to the States in her teens & finds it hard to see how she fits with other young Latin adults born here, and the frustration of seeing the cultural limitation of most Hispanics around her. She has been on her own most of her adult life and her family is the product of immigration from Central America during the wars in the 80s.
