Character Breakdown / Project Needs
Casting at the Seattle Film Institute. October 24, 25 (2-5pm). dslr dramatic film short.

Male Lead: MEMPHIS age 20-35, the current Muse of Literature. Together, with his semi-sentient typewriter Calliope, he is responsible for all of modern literature. Tall, lanky and pale.

HEPHAESTUS, MALE age 40+. A crusty looking older man. The former Greek god of technology, he has since moved on to being the Printer of Literature. He constantly wears a sweat stained wife-beater, is chomping on a half crushed cigar, and never leaves his office.

PERSEPHONE: FEMALE 20-LATE 30s. Trapped in Hell (or at least Odin’s Dive Bar) reading beat poetry to Bacchus and Odin, she is next in line to become the Muse of Literature.

SESHAT: FEMALE (ANY AGE). The Egyptian goddess of writing, she currently serves as Hephaestus’ secretary. Must be comfortable with special effect prosthetics (cause she has a beak!)
BACCHUS: Male – 30+. The Greek god of wine and debauchery – think a caddy southern gentleman. He spends his time in Odin’s bar, listening to Persephone read her poems.

ODIN: Male – 40+. The king of the gods in Norse mythology, he has since retired from Valhalla and opened up a bar here on Earth. A big beard is a must!

Copy and meals provided. Unpaid. Shooting in early-mid November.
