Open Call for "Las Plantas"

The producers of Beneath Contempt are holding an open casting call for the Emerson College short thesis film Las Plantas. Union and Non-Union welcomed. Sides will be provided.

Interviews will take place on Wednesday, August 26 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., at Emerson College, 150 Boylston Street in Boston.

Latina/Female - Age: 25 - 35
A young woman finishing her medical studies as a nurse, completing her residency.

Due to the long hours spent at her job, she does not have time to foster interpersonal relationships. After her mom sends her a Chia Pet in the mail as "a little friend" she ends up overcompensating for her lack of relationships with a love of plants, transforming her apartment into a jungle of flora.

It is vital that the actress who takes the role has a strong command of Spanish, either a native speaker or completely fluent, and is equally important that she both takes direction well and brings her own ideas to the table as the director looks forward to working closely with the actress to create an emotionally deep, complex, and well rounded character.
