Casting is underway for a feature film in the Raleigh area. How to audition

Producers have announced an open casting call for “There You Are,” a character-driven romantic drama scheduled to film this summer in Chapel Hill.

According to a post in the NC Filmmakers and Actors Facebook group, the story follows a man on the verge of moving away to start over when he unexpectedly meets his soulmate and must choose between the life he planned and the one he never saw coming.

Casting directors are seeking actors for six roles: two men and three women in their late 20s to early 30s, and one man in his mid- to late 30s.

The roles include:

• Jock (late 20s-early 30s): Stoic and focused but quietly restless, caught between who he was and who he might become.
• Emily (late 20s-early 30s): Smart and magnetic, emotionally guarded with a dry sense of humor; thoughtful beneath the surface and newly single.
• Andy (early 30s): A warmhearted, loyal “good ol’ boy” with an easy laugh and dependable presence.
• Katie (late 20s-early 30s): Emily’s sharp, witty best friend and emotional co-pilot, fiercely protective and honest.
• Jenn (mid-to-late 20s): Sweet, bubbly and a little spacey, bringing warmth and heart to the group.
• Danny (mid-to-late 30s): Jock’s older brother, messy and loud but deeply caring, masking insecurity with bravado.

Auditions are planned for March, the post says. Interested actors can direct message organizers or email b.rainbennett@gmail.com for details.

Movies filming in NC

Here’s a list of current productions in North Carolina, according to the NC Film Office:

• “The Hunting Wives” – Season 2 (TV/streaming series)
• “RJ Decker” – Season 1 (TV/streaming series)
• “Sweet Carolina Holiday” (made-for-TV/streaming movie)
• “A Proper Christmas” (feature-length film)

The NC Film Office is not working on “There You Are,” NC Film Office Director Guy Gaster told The N&O via email. This doesn’t mean it’s not a legitimate project, just one that may not qualify for the state’s film grant program or otherwise need state assistance at this time.

“It’s not uncommon for local projects to use social media to find talent and potential crew, especially those looking to get more experience under their belt,” he said.
