The Children of Anchor Cove

[milowent]

Passer inassatus found this information yesterday and posted it on the new AP article on CBS thread, I think it's worth its own thread. The AP article noted that "After graduating in April [Jessica] started scouring various Internet sites for auditions and came upon a listing on the Craigslist Web site for a project called "Children of Anchor Cove.""

That turned out to actually be the LonelyGirl15 auditions . . .

Wow, here's the casting call:

66.218.69.11/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=%22children+of+anchor+cove%22&u=www.casting-calls.org/THECHILDRENOFANCHOR COVE/&w=%22children+of+anchor+cove%22&d=Z975ZyQ8Nba-&icp=1&.intl=us

THE CHILDREN OF ANCHOR COVE
Project Description
California
Feature

Casting Director: Leyna Noelani Raskoff

Project Notes: This project will span approximately 6 months. It will require an initial commitment of 3-4 days, and then a weekly commitment of about 1 day a week (we can work around schedules). That being said, we want people that are dedicated to the concept and willing to go with it.

ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST be at least 18 y/o (but look 14/15) and MUST HAVE strong improv skills.

This film is partially scripted and partially improvised.

Must have strong improv skills!

Boy #1 - Lead / MALE / 14 TO 15 / Caucasian
Required Skills - Performance Skills: Improvisation
Geeky, but attractive. He's a film geek, intelligent, funny, uncomfortable (think Adam Brody, Colin Hanks).

Girl #2 - Supporting / FEMALE / 14 TO 15 / Caucasian
Required Skills - Performance Skills: Improvisation
Cute, quirky, funnier than Girl #1 (think young Natasha Lyonne or Michelle Flaherty).

Girl #1 - Lead / FEMALE / 14 TO 15 / Caucasian
Required Skills - Performance Skills: Improvisation
Naturally beautiful and attractive, in an innocent and cute way. Great sense of humor with strong improv skills.

Think Natalie Portman, Leelee Sobieski, Rachel Leigh Cook.

Looks like casting was in May, and the director was TBD at the time based on another casting call here: www.actorsyp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=186&sid=a2e1c68e059dda01904d2e67c9f43eb1

looks like children of anchor cove auditions were held on May 30:

kayla.b-disaster.net/

hi agnes!!!

i went on an auditon for a movie today, children of anchor cove. they're nto allowed to give out info on it or anything... i hope i at least get a call back. but i don't know. i didn't do well. i did so much better reading at home. it's always liek that. on auditions i get nervous, but that's normal, i wish i didn't do poorly because of it. i didn't do horribly though, simply not my best.

i cannot imagine not acting, not becoming an actress. i need to. i get this weird thing in me, when i see movies, i have to be apart of some. and i knwo not everyone gets like that, and it isn't because i grew up in la, many think it's weird. but, i love it, i have to be apart of it. i will be a part of it. i hope it comes soon though

[EDIT 3:30pm 9/15: The link to this blog post is no longer working. Google cache has it: 72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:PkewkoAn2rIJ:kayla.b-disaster.net/+site:kayla.b-disaster.net&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1]

[EDIT 2: 1:50am 9/16: I should not the blog appears to have been deleted after I posted a comment inviting her to come to our board to discuss the auditions. Could it be she was cast as cassie and forgot about this post?]

I wonder if the other girls Cassie

[bigciafan]

this is a cool development.

the project has a name.
i like the name too.

so there is another girl. hmm. probably cassie. it would make sence. the real question is this.

since these are filmed in real time. not ahead of time, is the other girl now needed?

or are the authors going in a different direction than originally intended

[Passer inassatus]

FWIW I've also found a resume and myspace profile for Leyna Noelani Raskoff, the casting director. Suppose there's an off chance that it might lead to a Girl #2.

She's done a lot of work casting reality shows. America's Most Talented Senior (anybody remember that?) must have been fun. I'd never before put much thought to the hundreds of reality show casting directors that must be in Hollywood these days.

Thanks for starting the new thread Milo. I was being lazy.

Y'all please note the new nifty name for this board at the top of the page.
