We’re a student short film called Mike & Lil looking to cast the title leads, Mike and Lilian. Auditions will be on Sunday June 18th. The story is about a middle-aged couple, Mike and Lil, who’s love begins to deteriorate after Lil is diagnosed with dementia. Mike struggles to keep up with her worsening condition and finds solace in fantasy. Since we are a student film budgets are tight and we can’t pay you but catering and crafty will be included and of course your credit. Thanks for your time and I look forward to meeting you.
