3 actors needed for a short film :: lead role paid

From an e-mail sent out by Brooklyn based filmmaker Tambay Obenson:

"The basic part descriptions are:

1. Lead role - African American teenage boy (or at least someone who could play a teenager - 16 to 18 years old), and overweight (crucial), whether slightly or extremely.
2. African American man - father of teenage boy. 40s.
3. African American teenage girl (or someone who could play a teenager - also 16 to 18 years old). Size irrelevant.

If you know anyone who can fill these parts on such short notice, and can be available sometime between Saturday and Wednesday, please forward this to them, or let me know who they are and I will contact them myself.

There is pay for the lead role, the overweight teenage boy - not enough to pay rent, but enough to buy a pair of Nikes :o)

THANK YOU!!!!! I greatly appreciate it!"

There were like 30-40 people at Lincoln Center for the 1PM Fri 8/8/25 (opening day) screening of By the Stream.  People in that neighborhood are serious about their foreign films. Cinematography is very simple, from a canon XA small sensor HD cam, I could see familiar details, how those cams film the moon, scenes at night - it’s like a 1980s or 1990s early indie cinematography style that we do not see much these days - works well for Hong’s movies. No color grading, very simple video/cinematography. A more fleshed out movie than some recent Hong movies. In the movie a skit is prepped, and we actually get to see it performed. A couple of serious issues are discussed.  Some unexpected, light things happen. It’s a comedy-drama chill hangout movie w/ creative South Korean people - good times. Probably o...
