Please email your headshot to snowflakecasting@yahoo.com for an appointment.
These are some of the main characters in the film:
The role of Jesse has already been cast, but is included as reference.
Jesse Ashton (white female, 21 years) is a natural beauty with her own style of city/b-girl clothes. Jesse grew up in a wealthy family in an affluent town...in fact, she's still trapped there with her parents Gerald and Rose. In such a controlling environment where conservative conformity is the norm, Jesse turns to hip-hop for self-expression and exploration. The problem is that she is not fully accepted in either world. She's too rebellious to work for her mother's prestigious law firm, yet not street enough for the clubs. Jesse's ambition is to not only be accepted as a rapper, but also become financially independent as an artist. What drives her is the memory of her deceased brother, Kevin, who introduced her to hip hop and taught her that life should be about your own passion, not what others demand of you. But what is Jesse willing to sacrifice to become the next big thing?
Jamal (African-American male, 25 years) is a tall and thin rapper, and is the perfect blend of book and street smart that reflects in his clothes and rhymes. Jamal is Jesse's friend and voice of reason. Jamal and Jesse met at the independent record store where they both work. As a local hip-hop hero himself, it was Jamal that helped Jesse craft herself into the artist she is today by providing her with moral support, tracks to back her vocals and critiquing her performance. Jamal also has ambitions to make it as a rapper; however, he refuses to comprise his artistic integrity. Jamal raps from the heart and connected with Jesse on lyrical content. He respects her as a person and an artist and believes in her abilities. Now that's she's getting attention from the new "it" producer Diamond Roy, he's starting to question is she can stay true to her art form, and more importantly, stay true to herself.
Adam (white male, 23 years) is Jamal's sidekick and Jesse's biggest fan. Adam also works at the record store and has been helping Jamal cook beats for a long time. Adam is a punk rocker by look and trade, but loves hip hop music and supports Jamal and Jesse with everything that they do...maybe a little too much. Adam, although he tries, can't hide very well that he'd like to be more than friends with Jesse. So often in order to gain favor with her, he enables Jesse's drinking problem. Adam would like to see both Jamal and Jesse succeed in the game, assuming he'd ride along with them. But his actions to have Jesse like him sometimes hurt more than they help.
Big Moe (African-American male, 35 years) is a big, beefy force to be reckoned with. Big Moe is a local Boston producer who just had one of his artists "Klep" signed to Sony records. He's the new big shot in town and looking to increase his wealth by getting more artists signed, and he's not afraid to use his size (figuratively and literally) to get what he wants. Big Moe sees dollar signs when he first sees Jesse perform--a pretty white girl with skills. He takes Jesse under his wing to help her grow and become marketable, but at the end of the day, it's all about business. If he's going to invest his time, he will ensure to get a return on his investment no matter who he crosses or how.
Trick (African-American male, 25 years) is a built rapper who is top to bottom street thug. Under Big Moe's direction, he's trying to be the next Lil Wayne. Trick has local success and is on the cusp of really blowing up. But his ego trips him up so that he thinks too much of himself and doesn't put in the time and effort needed to get to the next level. That's where he and Big Moe have tension...and the tension only increases when Trick's rapper girlfriend, Vanessa, shows that she will do anything to get a shot at the limelight...anything. When Big Moe brings on Jesse, Trick questions Moe’s ability to stay true to the game and he gives Jesse a hard time. But as time passes, Trick sees that Jesse's abilities are real...he may even see more in Jesse than Moe.
Vanessa (African-American female, 25 years) is a hot, curvy bitch you love to hate. An in your face, verbally abusive woman, Vanessa is Jesse's nemesis and makes this fact very public. Vanessa's disrespect for Jesse increases into sabotage as she becomes more and more threatened by her. As an artist, Vanessa's lyrics and performance make Foxy Brown and Lil Kim seem like Sunday School teachers. Vanessa is the epitome of a "sex sells" attitude that she and Big Moe try to capitalize on, regardless of her boyfriend and fellow rapper, Trick's feelings. She will do anything to make it, but how far is she really willing to take it? Does she truly believe in the ends justify the means?
Gerald Ashton (white male, 55 years) is a tall, athletic man who is corporate conservative in dress and manner and CEO of a multi-million dollar company. As Jesse's father, he is emotionally withdrawn, as he has been grieving the loss of his son, Kevin. The only interactions he has with Jesse are to command her to follow in the "proper" footsteps that he and her mother had taken to succeed in life. But Gerald and Jesse have two very different definitions of success. Jesse hides her hip hop life from her parents, so Gerald can only guess what she's up to so late at night, night after night. Will she slip into the same pattern her brother was in before he died? Not on Gerald's watch. But the more he tightens his grip on Jesse, the more she slips through his fingers.
Rose Ashton (white female, 50 years) is a very beautiful, but tough lawyer who is a partner in a very successful law firm. As Jesse's mother, she tries her best to support Jesse, but is only supporting her on her own terms--she doesn't listen to what is truly in Jesse's heart. Rose tries to balance her tough businesswoman exterior with being a nurturing mother, but it often gets lost. She does not understand why Jesse dropped out of college and why she seems to be floundering with no sense of direction. After the death of her son, Kevin, Rose has tried to keep her mind on the practice and just allows Gerald space to grieve in his own way. But she can feel the space increasing between all three of them, and despite her success at work, can not seem to figure out how to solve the family problem.
There are also other supporting roles to be cast for…. And we need a lot of extras and music performers in scenes. These are just the main characters in the film. Thanks!

President's Day Holiday Weekend, February 12 - 15, 2010
www.providencechildrensfilmfestival.org
The first annual Providence Children's Film Festival will present the New England premiere of The Secret of Kells, nominated for a 2010 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/nominees.html
This highly anticipated animated masterpiece from the producers of Kirikou and the Sorceress, and The Triplets of Belleville brings together magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology in a riot of color and detail that dazzle the eyes in this sweeping story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times. The Academy Award nominees were announced February 2.
The New England premiere of The Secret of Kells will take place at the Festival Kick-off Reception, Friday, February 12, 5:30 pm, at the Cable Car Cinema.
Providence Children's Film Festival is the first and only not-for-profit dedicated solely to bringing high quality independent and international children's films and film-related programming to Rhode Island. Its inaugural event will be a four-day festival that will introduce Rhode Island children, youth and their families to the great variety of high quality independent films from the United States and around the world made specifically for young audiences.
The festival will feature a delightful collection of animated, live-action, and documentary films, including recent award winners and favorites from major North American children's film festivals, including the New York, Chicago, and Toronto International Children's Film Festivals.
With support from local community arts and education organizations, such as New Urban Arts and City Arts!, the festival will also present a program of films made by Rhode Island youth on Sunday, February 14, 3:30, Metcalf Auditorium, RISD Museum.
For a full listing of films, descriptions, trailers and reviews, please visit: http://www.providencechildrensfilmfestival.org/Films.html
Education and hands-on opportunities are vital to the Festival's mission. This year's workshops will focus on animation, with two local artists, Annie Lavigne (RISD Faculty, Department of Film, Animation and Video) and Amy Lovera (Providence based multi-media artist), leading workshops in direct animation and cut paper animation (which is a kind of stop motion animation).
Advanced registration for the workshops is highly recommended (see www.providencechildrensfilmfestival.org/Workshops.html).
There will be other opportunities to meet film professionals. The Saturday 12:30 screening of Gus Outdoors: Gull Island will feature a question and answer session with Portsmouth, RI, filmmaker Sean Nightingale. For the Saturday 3:30 screening of Songs of Freedom, a new film about the Underground Railroad that knits together dramatic re-creation and contemporary and modern storytelling and music, director/producer David Marshall will be present to answer questions. Both of these presentations are part of the free programming that will take place at the Metcalf Auditorium, RISD Museum.
The festival will take place Friday, February 12 - Monday, February 15, 2010 (Presidents' Day Weekend).
Kick-off Reception & Premier Screening of "The Secret of Kells": Friday, February 12, 5:30 pm, Cable Car. Ticketed event $15. Advance ticket purchase recommended via http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/97479

"HACHI" TO SCREEN IN WOONSOCKET
The Rhode Island Film & TV Office and Sony Pictures are pleased to announce that the movie "HACHI", starring Richard Gere and Joan Allen, will be showcased at a free screening to be held at the historical Stadium Theatre in the City of Woonsocket at 7:30 PM on Thursday, March 4, 2010 prior to its worldwide DVD release.
"HACHI" is based on the true story of a college professor and his adoption of an abandoned dog who becomes his best friend. Their relationship changes both of their lives as they form an unbreakable bond. Photographed primarily in Woonsocket, Bristol, Providence and on the Kingston URI campus, "HACHI" also stars Jason Alexander. Academy Award nominee Lasse Hallstrom ("CIDER HOUSE RULES", "CHOCOLAT") directed the family drama.
Steven Feinberg, Executive Director of the RI Film & TV Office said, "We are very excited to share this heart-warming movie with the local crew, cast and community members whose talent and hard work contributed tremendously to this beautiful film. The theme of loyalty resonates throughout, and it's fitting that our dedicated citizens are given a preview of this wonderfully photographed production and its inviting locations."

"HACHI" is based on the true story of a college professor and his adoption of an abandoned dog who becomes his best friend. Their relationship changes both of their lives as they form an unbreakable bond. Photographed primarily in Woonsocket, Bristol, Providence and on the Kingston URI campus, "HACHI" also stars Jason Alexander. Academy Award nominee Lasse Hallstrom ("CIDER HOUSE RULES", "CHOCOLAT") directed the family drama.
Steven Feinberg, Executive Director of the RI Film & TV Office said, "We are very excited to share this heart-warming movie with the local crew, cast and community members whose talent and hard work contributed tremendously to this beautiful film. The theme of loyalty resonates throughout, and it's fitting that our dedicated citizens are given a preview of this wonderfully photographed production and its inviting locations."

Mingle with the Filmmakers!
The CT New Wave Film Night!
See what's happening in your own backyard.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Mingle with filmmakers of the CT New Wave while you ... check out the paintings and photography of Berlin-native, Andy McKinnon, and watch the trailers from the CT feature film, Sensory Perception!
The CT New Wave is a collective of Connecticut-based filmmakers who have combined their efforts in a collaborative endeavor to bring quality filmmaking to the area.
Sensory Perception, directed by Al Signore, is an independent film which just wrapped here in CT. It features Kris Keyes (Gargantua Soul), Mike Duff, and Stephanie Victoria. This film was shot on location in CT with an all-CT crew!
American Jubilee, written by Ryan Casey (Crushing Pennies), is an independent film in the first stages of pre-production, that needs your help in achieving its goals. The CT New Wave Collective has an amazing script ready to be shot and a talented group of CT crew professionals ready to bring it to life. We just need your support.
Quality films with a brand-new aesthetic are starting to be made here in our state, and we need to keep this going so that others will follow suit. We wish to make Connecticut the "go-to" place for filmmakers from around the country. And we need your support!
For our current project, American Jubilee, the CT New Wave Film Collective is using CT-based crew and CT-based locations. This will help to develop the economic well-being of our community's area by encouraging others to use this area and its businesses to produce film and take part in other arts in the area.
Tickets are: $20 at the door for the public - $15 in advance. To purchase Tickets in advance, contact Ryan Casey at:
