1st Film

AriesWorks Entertainment is accepting actor submissions for “Dylan’s Wake,” an LA-based SAG feature film. The film begins shooting in Iowa August 31. It is produced by Lucas Jarach and directed by Omar Naim. Six leading roles are TBA and not included in the regional casting call.

12 speaking roles (including supporting roles),15 featured extras and up to 150 extras are available for regional casting.

Story line: “Dylan’s Wake”(think: “Jacob’s Ladder” meets “Good Will Hunting”) is the story of a young man who fakes his own death to see if anyone will show up at his funeral. Two people show up– a street junkie who believes our protagonist is an angel who has come to save his life, and his High School sweetheart from ten years before. Their lives will be changed forever in this supernatural film about friendship, romance and redemption.
