I’m writing to you from an Irish production company called Tilted Pictures and we’re producing an Irish Film Board short film called Doghouse.
It’s the comic story of a day in the life of a hapless Dad who needs to grow up and his smart child who might be able to help with that, written and to be directed by Morgan Bushe (IFTA nominated Best Short, Silver Star Galway Film Fleadh, winner Best Short Celtic Film and Televsion Awards If I Should Fall Behind, Best of Fest Cork Film Festival Mr. Crocodile in the Cupboard). His producing credits include The Other Side of Sleep which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Circus Fantasticus that was longlisted for this year’s Best Foreign Film Oscar and Colony which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, was IFTA nominated for Best Documentary and won the First Appearance Award at the IDFA.
We are currently casting for the role of the child in the story. We are interested in seeing both boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 12. We would love if you could please pass the word on to your students' parents and ask them to get in touch by e-mail if their children are interested in auditioning.
We will be auditioning in Fastnet Films, 75-76 Camden St. Lr., Dublin 2 next Monday Feb. 20 and Tuesday 21 from 3.30pm until 7.30pm.
(Directions: Fastnet Films opposite Green19 between barber and phone shop)

They are looking for a brother/sister - boy aged between 3yrs and 5yrs and girl aged between 6yr and 7yr, ideally brother/sister or cousins but if they are outgoing kids it really doesn't matter if they are related or not, just seems that a small 3yr-5yr old might not be as shy if he knows the girl who is playing his sister.

We are scouting for teenage actors (male & female) and non-actors (i.e. no experience required) to act in our comedy horror feature film Stitches. We are looking for teenagers from all around Ireland from 16 to 21 years of age. We can't unfortunately see anyone younger than 16.
This feature film is written and will be directed by Conor McMahon, the acclaimed Irish director of Dead Meat. The film is being developed with the assistance of the Irish Film Board.
As the main thrust of the casting process, we are scouting across the country to look for young people with the confidence and natural charisma to perform on film. What we need is a short interview with you on camera, where you'll be asked simple questions to record your accent and look to show the director & producer. These tapes will be used purely for audition purposes and will never appear in the public realm. We then might ask you to read and /or improvise some scenes from the film.
Stitches is the macabre story of Richard 'Stitches' Grindle - a workaday kids' birthday clown, whose oneliners are witty in a way that's just not for kids. Stitches has a nasty accident at work and comes back to avenge his own unfortunate death. The kids who killed him have grown up, but this may be the last party they ever go to.
We are running Open Auditions at 33 Pearse Street, Dublin 2 from 1pm until 6pm on Wednesday July 6th.
There is no need to contact me to make an appointment for the open day, just turn up on the day. If you are younger than 18 (or perhaps even if you're not!) please inform your parents if you're coming in to see us.
I must stress that this is a large scale casting trawl, so the chances of getting a part are slim, but you never know, you might be chosen to be part of this Irish feature film.
Best Regards,
Nick McGinley
Casting Director
