casting call for tagged

Received via email:

We are holding an open audition for our upcoming movie Tagged!, which concerns a teenage girl obsessed with the game of lazer tag. A knowledge of the game is a plus but not a necessity.

Most of the actors we are looking for are between the ages of 15 and 19 years old or can appear to be those ages, however there are several parts open for older actors. We will be looking for males and females, black, Asian and white.

These are the parts still open:

Marcus -- Tall, handsome but deeply troubled. She is Trixie’s love interest.

Mori -- Trixie’s closest friend, if you can call her that. The two fight constantly and do not get along.

Les -- Easy going. Likeable. He and Mori are romantically involved.

Pitbull -- Leader of the team. Abrasive, cocky, believes in winning at all costs. A big, powerful youngster who’s made his way up from the streets. Knows how to cheat to win.

Death Row -- A weasel of a boy. Sneaky. Suspicious.

Quiet Man -- As his name implies, he rarely speaks.

Lazer Tag Referee 3 -- Strong authority figure.

Lazer Tag Referee 2 -- Believes in fair play. Never hesitates when someone breaks the rules. Authority figure.

Lazer Tag Referee 1 -- No lines.

Gargotha -- Boy dressed in alien costume. Rattles off the rules on a TV screen.

Flash Gorgans Team -- Extras. No lines.

Ruby Coasters Team -- Extras. No lines.

Omar -- Trixie’s estranged grandfather and Joe’s father. Although he supported Trixie and her mother, he never was a part of their lives. He becomes the unseen evil Count Omar in Trixie’s delusions.

Ray Kawa -- Mori’s brother. Marcus’ friend. Lazer Tag player.

The Berrys -- Servants to Trixie and her mother. Loyal and servile. Trixie treats them like robots.

Dr. Griffiths -- Omar’s doctor and friend.

We are going for a PG-rated movie, good for the entire family, including teens. We hope to enter it in film festivals aimed at a youthful audience and we will be trying to get approval ratings from groups such as Kids First!

The auditions will be held Saturday, December 5 at 8 p.m. at Q-ZAR, 7807 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33614.

We begin shooting on Martin Luther King Day, January 18, 2010.
