Casting Call for I Want To Be A Desi

N
ov. 24: I'm casting South Asian actors for the Dec.6 shoot of I WANT TO BE A DESI, the comedy version of "DESI 2." This is an ACTRA TIP project (BravoFact), so all actors and background performers must belong to ACTRA:

SA FEMALE 1: background role: early-20s to play a virginal, naive Indian bachelorette.

SA FEMALE 2: actor role: early/mid 20s to play glamorous Bollywood bride who becomes a gold-digger.

SA MALE: 30s-up: actor role; business owner type who runs a "Desi School." Looks legit, but is really a little sneaky.

ASIAN/FILIPINO FEMALE: background role: 30s-up to play a nanny.

To apply: e-mail CV, headshot and agent details to tong.allan@gmail.com. Auditions scheduled. No calls, please.
