wish you well – open call for 2 leading roles and more – casting complete

**CASTING COMPLETE**

Feature Film – starring an Academy Award Winning actress – is searching locally for two LEAD roles!

Wish You Well, the motion picture based on David Baldacci’s novel, to be filmed in Giles County, VA in October 2012, is searching for Caucasian boys (7-13 years old) with or without acting experience to portray the lead characters “Diamond” & “Oz” in the film.

“Diamond” is a mountain boy. He is unique, confident, strong-willed, opinionated and charming. Diamond marches to the beat of his own drummer, fishing, exploring, and sometimes getting into trouble. 10-13 yrs old. Caucasian. Diamond has a pet dog (If any “Diamond” candidates have their own dog, please bring a photo of the dog to the open call.)

“Oz” is a quiet boy who takes his stuffed bear with him everywhere. He looks up to his big sister, and remains hopeful even when things seem impossible. 7-9 yrs old. Caucasian.

Please attend the OPEN CALL (with a guardian) to be considered for this film. No appointments are needed.
