These are scripted roles. Acting experience, good memorization skills, and confidence on-camera are a must.

The Roles
  • An African-American Male, 32-38 years old to portray Prince Hall, founder of the world's first lodge of black Freemasonry.
  • An African-American Male, 50-65 years old to portray Otto Snowden
  • An African-American Female, 50-65 years old to portray Muriel Snowden, who with her husband founded Freedom House, Inc., in Roxbury as a nonprofit community-based organization dedicated to human rights and advocacy for African Americans in Boston.

Family needed for Getty photo shoot

C.P. Casting is looking to cast a Caucasian family that lives on or near Cape Cod. A mom and dad in their 30s or 40s and their 2 or 3 kids between the ages of 3 and 12. They are not looking to assemble a family. They want a real, related, true family.

The family is needed for a shoot for Getty Images, the leading supplier of stock images for business and consumers. They target three markets — creative professionals (advertising and graphic design), the media (print and online publishing), and corporate communication departments for other businesses. The shoot will involve the family posing for still photographs in various "on vacation" settings, sight seeing, on the beach, etc.

The shoot will take place on June 7 and/or 8 in the North Truro area of Cape Cod (approx. 2.5 hours from Boston). The family must be available all day, both June 7th and 8th, and be able to transport themselves to the shoot in North Truro, MA. The family will be provided meals, and paid $1000 for their participation.

If you are interested, appropriate, and available for this shoot, C.P. Casting needs to see your photos ASAP. Photos of Mom, Dad, and kids, faces and full body shots are preferred. Include everyone's height, weight, and any other information you think would be helpful.

This will be a still-photo shoot, so union or non-union submissions will be accepted.
Email your photos to: matt@cpcasting.com.
