While the average hourly rate for these roles isn’t specified, there’s no denying that exposure is invaluable in the acting world!
More Feature Films Calling
But wait, there’s more on the film front! A feature film is looking for 80s college students (ages 18-26) for a lead role! How vintage chic does that sound? Although there’s no specified pay, the chance for young actors to embody the fun vibe of the 80s could be worth its weight in gold.
Another feature film is casting a character named Jenna, for which they’re offering a nifty $125 for a day player role (aged 18-30). If you’ve got the chops for it, why not give it a shot?
