CASTING CALL – TWIN CITIES DRUMMERS

An independent film production is seeking Twin Cities-based drummers, ages 25–35, to audition for the role of JIMMY.

JIMMY
Defiant, moody, and the poster boy of a rock star living on the edge. Perpetually unshaven with a flask in hand and wild, sleepless eyes. As the band's drummer, Jimmy's alcoholism breeds unreliability, unprofessionalism, and avoidance. He frames his drinking as part of the artistic process, but in the end, he will always choose his vice over his art.

Seeking:
• Minneapolis & St. Paul based drummers
• Ages 25–35
• Acting experience is a plus, but not required
• Must be available between July 24 – August 7
• This is a paid role

To be considered, please email the following to Jeff Taube at [email protected]

• Current photo
• Short bio
• Age
• Availability between July 24 – August 7

Please share with any musicians, drummers, actors, or performers who may be a great fit.
