Casting: Dime Bag - Student Film Casting 6 Lead and Supporting Roles
Project Description: Dodge College of Film and Media Arts student film. Life changes for Paul, a small-time weed dealer and recently graduated high school senior, after his last chance to spend time
with his best friends before they leave for college. Non-firing replicas of guns will be used during the climax, when two masked gangsters (one being the character JORDAN)
enter a party with guns brandished. JORDAN points the gun at people, and eventually fires at PAUL. But again, they will be
non-firing replicas, so no blanks or live bullets will be used. Helpful if actors have a decent understanding or familiarity with bay area accent / lingo. Must be LA local.
