Students from the Polytechnic University of Turin are casting for their short film, ‘Completo’. They need principal actors (men, 30-35 age range), supporting actresses (30-45 and 45-50 age range), supporting actors (men, 50-70 age range), and extras (men and women, 18-40 age range). Filming will take place in Turin between April and May. Interested individuals, preferably residents or those domiciled in the Piedmont region, can apply via the provided Google Forms link. It’s important to note that this is an unpaid, student project. Silvia Bracco and Davide Tilocca are handling the casting.

While opportunities like these are crucial for aspiring filmmakers, the lack of compensation raises familiar questions about the accessibility of the arts. While student projects often operate on tight budgets, the expectation of free labor can disproportionately impact those unable to afford to work without pay. Aspiring actors, are you willing to take part?
