THANK YOU TO ALL WHO RESPONDED - WE ARE NO LONGER TAKING SUBMISSIONS FOR THE FILM.
Casting various supporing roles for "Drifting" (Feature Film) to shoot in December 2009 (UNPAID)
"Drifting" Synopsis:
Ben Sampson is drifting and feels lost in life. Following his father recently passing away and having just finished university, Ben is struggling to find himself a job and a meaningful existence. Feeling like he is forever destined to remain in a rut, he now finds himself in a complicated state of doubt and isolation.
Along his journey, Ben encounters various interesting characters including Sophie, a young recruiting officer for an advertising agency who through friendship begins to help inspire Ben to get over it – and get on with it. Gradually, Ben begins to realise that maybe personal fulfilment is closer than he thinks.
