adrenaline film project 2015 – casting complete
**CASTING COMPLETE**
Arvold Casting is again collaborating with the Virginia Film Festival for the 2015 Adrenaline Film Project! Adrenaline is a competition that challenges teams of filmmakers to write, cast, shoot, edit, and screen a short film at the Virginia Film Festival in just 72 hours. Each team will be guided and supervised by professional Hollywood mentors and special guests. Actors will be important creative contributors to each team’s project and will be eligible to win the BEST ACTOR award at the screening of the finished films during the festival!
For actors interested in this unique project, there will be a Meet & Greet with filmmaking teams on November 3rd, and new this year, a very special opportunity to participate in a workshop during the meet and greet with renowned acting coach Leigh Kilton-Smith (who has worked closely with actors like Jennifer Aniston, Felicity Huffman, & Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and producer/casting director Erica Arvold, CSA. Again this year, we will be offering in-person taping sessions so that actors have the chance to supplement their Adrenaline submission with a monologue or scene taped in-person with the arvold team!
