ORONO — Students in a UMaine film class are holding an open casting call Feb. 9 and Feb. 16 for their next short movie. Auditions both Wednesdays will be from 6-9 p.m. on the second floor of Alumni Hall on the Orono campus.

“The Stream” is scheduled to be shot entirely on weekends this month. The entire production is being run by students of the Year in Film class. This will be the sixth film made and produced by the class since Year in Film was introduced two years ago.

3 Legged Dog Productions, the production group created by Year in Film students is looking for two men and two women between ages18 and 30. Interested parties are encouraged, but not required, to prepare a one minute monologue for the audition. No appointment is required.

Questions should be directed to Andrew Eldridge at (207) 581-8590.

Last year the class-produced film “Float” was selected for screening at the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville.
