AUD Feb 28 ‘STRONGHOLD’ (independent short film)

“Stronghold”-Anumi Productions

Below is a brief synopsis of the independent short film.

From first glance they appear to be the average American church-going family, but as we quickly discover looks can be deceiving. The matriarch of the family is wrestling with a major decision that tests the strength of her marriage. She confides in a dear friend and motherly figure from church, Mother Angelica. Mother Angelica’s counsel seems sound; however by the end of the film we see that her motives are questionable to say the least. All of this transpires while the son and the daughter of the film deal with the demons in their own lives.

When:

AUDITIONS will take place Saturday, February 28, 2009 starting at 12 noon, be prepared to stay as late as 6 pm. Actors should come prepared with a two minute dramatic monologue.
