Hello - pg here! It's such a long time since I last visited the site. I hope everyone is ok in these strange times.

I am posting this on behalf of George Millman who is looking for a child actor for a script readthrough of a TV pilot (it's something I'm taking part in). You can obviously ask to see the script before agreeing and ask any questions you need. I don't know George personally (though we have a mutual friend), but I have been corresponding with him and offered to put the call up here.

Here's George's casting call:

I'm looking for a black or mixed-race girl, around six or so, to participate in a recorded script readthrough that they can do from home, supervised by a parent.

The project is a readthrough of the pilot script of my TV series, done over Zoom because of the situation with the pandemic. The recording will be used afterwards to pitch to production companies in the hope of either funding to shoot the pilot episode, or make the whole series as a web series, whichever is easier.

The character is the daughter of one of the main characters. Unfortunately we can't offer payment for this because we're funding it independently, but it shouldn't take too much time and could potentially lead to being cast in the eventual series, if commissioned.

To the best of my knowledge, because the format of this is all online and can be done from home supervised by a parent, we don't need all the formalities normally required when working with children. However, we haven't worked with children before, so if I've got this wrong do please feel free to let me know and we'll organise whatever needs to be done to make this work.

Will probably be later this month, but we want to find a time that suits everyone, so don't have a precise date yet.

To apply - or to get more details - please contact George on george.millman@gmail.com.
