The Visitants is based on the famed 1955 Hopkinsville-Kelly incident. We will be holding open calls in Hopkinsville, KY from August 21- August 30th. We have a variety of roles that we will be casting from background extras, featured extras and a few local hire principals. We would like to schedule in advance for principal auditions that will be local hires during this time, in addition featured extras and background extras will be cast during this time.
Local auditions will be held at the Little Green Men Festival AND the Summer Salute 2020 including an open call for all of the background and featured extras. Over 230 people will be cast. We will also be interviewing for local crew positions (Grips, Gaffer, Crafter Persons, Production Assistants, and Transportation coordinator).
The film is NON UNION. Filming will take place in both Kentucky and Tennessee.
The main creative team, including Production Designer, 1st Assistant Director, Sound, Producer, Executive Producers and Costume Designer will be present.
Our two leads have been cast: Scot Cooper https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2592022/ as Lucky Sutton and Jaime Bernadette https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2584117/ as Vera Sutton. Jaime is best know for I Spit on Your Grave: Déjà vu.
Featured Extras, Principals are paid positions and the shoot is a planned 30 days shoot (5 weeks of filming, 6 days on, 1 day off).
