Escape Films and 104 Films are now casting for the upcoming feature film RETREAT, which is backed by the BFI, BBC FILMS and CREATIVE ENGLAND under the low-budget feature film initiative.
Written and directed by Ted Evans, RETREAT is the first British Sign Language feature of it’s kind – with an ensemble cast of deaf actors. The story is mostly set in a deaf commune, where everyone communicates in sign language.
Ted and his producers are focusing their search on the two main characters in the story and welcome self-tapes from both professional and non-professional actors (non-actors). To see the character breakdowns and all you need to know about applying, check the PDF link below:
