Hello, I am working on a second year film for the University of South Wales, Newport. Myself and my crew have got dates to do casting auditions next week on Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th.

The Premise:

Just A Game (Working Title)

DOMINIC “THE DON” ROBERTSON is the reigning champion of a local pool competition. For the first time in numerous championships he actually faces some true challenges, from both the embittered long-time runner-up ALED BROOKES and the enigmatic newcomer, KEN HARRIS. ALED used to be on top of his game, but his losing streak has greatly affected his life and only increased his desperate need to win. As the competition heats up, the fierce rivalry between DOMINIC and ALED reaches fever pitch, KEN secures a surprise semi-final victory over DOMINIC but in the final round ALED narrowly wins the championship, regaining his pride.

We are currently looking for actors interested in playing:

DOMINIC “THE DON”/”DOM” ROBERTSON is a mid-thirty (+) year old male. The most distinctive aspect of DOMINIC is his overbearing presence of arrogance and egotism; though, he knows this all too well. Despite this, he is rather respectful, polite and civil towards his peers and to those he likes/gets along with. DOMINIC himself is quite respected in his field of playing pool and his skills are highly praised; he being the current reigning champion of the local pool hall. He is, however, cocky, belittling, patronising and condescending towards his rivals within the game, specifically ALED (in terms of the films story and narrative).

Actors DO NOT need to have a particularly great skill in pool as we will be working around these restrictions during post-production.

Thank you for reading, if you are interested in auditioning for this role please contact either:
