Operation White Elephant: NOW CASTING!

We are now accepting auditions for our new Christmas action-comedy film, Operation White Elephant! Read on for more details on how to apply!

THE FILM: In this slick action comedy, two rival agents are forced to go undercover at a suburban Christmas party in 1986 to stop an exchange between Russian sleeper agents, win a white elephant exchange, and possibly save the world.

MORE DETAILS: All roles in this film are unpaid, but we will provide food, IMDb credit, and reel material for all actors and actresses in the film!

WHEN: Filming dates are tentatively set for November 12-16 – evenings for November 12-15, and then during the day on November 16.

HOW TO APPLY:

  1. Read the character descriptions below and download an audition side for the character you’re interested in.
  2. Shoot a self-tape audition video of you reading the audition side (nothing fancy, we just want to be able to see and hear you reading for the part).
  3. E-mail the video to losmetatesstudios@gmail.com, along with your name, age, and phone number (and if you have a resume or reel, we would love to see those too!).
  4. We will be in touch!

CHARACTERS:

  • SAM (female, 20s-30s) – Sam is an american agent used to working alone. She’s extremely skilled in combat, but has zero people skills. She hates parties almost as much as she hates being part of a team. (Role includes fight choreography) (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • ROGER (male, 30s-70s) – The brains behind the operation. Roger is so very tired of dealing with agents who act like children, and would very much prefer to not start WWIII before Christmas. (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • MANDY (female, 20s-50s) – Mandy is a guest at the party who quickly sees through the American agent’s charade at pretending to be normal party goers. (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • MIKE (male, 20s-40s) – Mike works at the local hospital. He and his wife, Felicia, are the hosts of the Christmas party, and have absolutely no clue that some of their friends are actually Russians in deep cover. (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • FELICIA (female, 20s-40s) – Felicia is a kind and welcoming host who loves all things Christmas. But when things go haywire, her hostess skills are put to the test. (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • KATE (female, 20s-40s) – Kate is an old college friend of Felicia’s…and also happens to be a Russian sleeper agent. Her mission is to get the package from another Russian agent at this Christmas party, and to stop anyone who gets in her way. (Must be able to do a Russian accent; role includes fight choreography) (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • MILTON (male, 20s-40s) – Milton is the second Russian agent, who’s been instructed to drop the package with another Russian operative at the party. Little does he know that the Americans have sent in two of their own to intercept it. (Must be able to do a Russian accent; role includes fight choreography) (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • SCOTT (male, 50s-70s) – Scott is a party guest who’s sort of an odd professor type. His specialty? Birds. Initially, Sam suspects Scott as being a Russian in deep cover. (DOWNLOAD AUDITION SIDE)
  • RUSSIAN EXTRACTION SQUAD (20s-40s) – The backup squad in case the deep cover agents fail; this squad of hitmen is sent in with non-lethal weapons to clean up the mess and hopefully avoid an international incident. (No lines, but these roles include fight choreography)
