Dark Lantern Productions is looking to cast Frank, one of the lead roles in a 25-minute short comedic drama, filming in and around Oxford, across six days in spring 2014.

All roles are unpaid, but we will cover travel costs, you will be fed and watered on the shoot, and you will get a DVD copy of the final film.

Title: How to Die

Description: Diagnosed with a terminal illness, a young man attempts to learn the best way to face death and is drawn into a series of misadventures.

Frank: Uncomfortable in his own skin, Frank is a weary young man in his late twenties; dark hair, not unhandsome, on the thinner side of healthy, but fit and relatively strong. A wallflower and a terminally ill hypochondriac, he worries about dying. He worries about losing control. His life is a mess. What if he even messes up death?

If the project sounds interesting to you, please let us know and we can send you a copy of the script and/or further information. We plan to run auditions in Oxford within the next week.
