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:

ALED BROOKES is an early to mid-twenty-something year old male. ALED is at an impasse in his life where everything has seemed to have come to a halt for him; he’s in between jobs, has just come out of a long term relationship and his skills in pool have taken a dip. As such, the local bi-monthly pool competition is about to begin and he feels that this is the time to pick himself up and regain his confidence. Throughout the course of the narrative, ALED is seen as withdrawn, timid and worn down, primarily due to his long-time rival DOMINIC giving him grief and torment throughout the competition. Nevertheless, he strives to win and ultimately see DOMINIC fail.


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:
