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!"

The YouTube New Wave is here - mainstream accessible, well made indie films by filmmakers who promote their work

See two examples of YouTube New Wave (term coined by filmmaker Chris Sharpe) indie films below. Previously releasing indie films - features - on YouTube was a fringe, hobbyist activity, done by part time filmmakers with no interest in developing a mainstream audience or careers.  But now well made indie films by serious filmmakers who promote their work are getting a lot of views - over 100,000 - on YouTube.  Here are two: my movie - fiction feature - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene, and Jason Horton's Who They Are feature documentary.   *
