Casting call everyone!!!
one studios is making its final casting call for Fight 4 Your Life! The following roles are needed for the final shoots scheduled between July 31st – August 10th, 2014.
We are having a very last minute meeting regarding casting, crew and anything else regarding these final shoots on Thursday, July 10 at 6:45 pm at the Arcade Library’s Meeting Room in Sacramento. The address is…2443 Marconi Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821. We invite you to attend if you can make it.
Otherwise, please contact the one studios crew at either CastMe@F4YLMovie.com, or, Crew@F4YLMovie.com to either schedule an audition or inquire about helping as crew. You can also mosey on over to our contact page and shoot us a message there.
Auditions for these final roles are being held on Monday, July 14th in Davis, CA and Tuesday, July 15th in Sacramento AND possibly Davis again. Yes, this means we might be having a duo of auditions happening at the same time on July 15th. We are also considering having auditions on Wednesday, July 16th in the San Francisco area. That will be determined soon! Please contact us for specific time slots and locations.
Let us know the role(s) you’re interested in, your experience, your availability between now and the shooting duration, your age and please shoot us your resume and head shot. If you don’t have a resume or head shot, a personal picture and info on your experience will do. Your experience should correlate to the role(s) you’re going out for. And please send a full body shot also if the role(s) you’re going out for calls for being physically fit.
The cast of Fight 4 Your Life is filled with fantastic people from all walks of life. You should be sure to click over to the cast page and check some of their profiles out. And do the same with our awesome crew! These are the people you’ll be working with, so, why not get to know them a little?
Also, we like to be very open and direct about the pay situation for this project. We hate to say it, but these are not paid roles. We respect your time and craft actors. We understand and appreciate all the blood, sweat and tears you put into what you do. Productions don’t happen without you. However, no one on this project is getting paid, including the crew.
Fight 4 Your Life has always been about bringing the community together and making a movie for the love of the art and to help Nor Cal filmmaking grow. If we can make proceeds in the long run, surely one studios will give back to all those persons involved in the process. But our main goal is to give back by getting this project finished. And we’re 85% done! So, know that you’d not only be joining a lot of really cool people on a really cool project, but that you’d be coming on board a project that is actually going to see the light of day. Awesome!
But we totally understand if this isn’t for you. Paying the bills is pretty important, after all. We appreciate your support and interest friends.

Short Character Description:
This character is arrogant and outgoing. Yes, he is a bit of an ass. The kind of guy people love to hate. But he is a legit boxer and can back up his big mouth. Actor should be athletic with a good build and not shy. Boxing experience is a huge plus. He should be somewhat attractive also since this character is a big shot and has always been an alpha male himself. Actor should be able to play an early 20’s version of this character for a backflash scene, as well as the present day version of this character, which is mid to later 20’s, perhaps 30ish. Shirtless scenes are required, as he’ll be in a boxing match, of course. Challenging role for a serious actor.
Athletic Male / Boxer Type:
- Age 29-39
- Athletic and of good physical stature needed.
- Boxing experience a huge plus.
- Athletic actors preferred, as role is more acting than boxing.
- Open to all racial backgrounds and sizes. Should be in shape though.
- Minor speaking role.
- This character is in 4 scenes.
Short Character Description:
This character is a good guy. Very supportive and a team player. He doesn’t get pushed around. He’s tough. He comes from the hard part of town but hasn’t let that make him do wrong or act wrong. He can dish it out if needed. He respects and loves the sport of boxing. He might not be the best boxer, but he’s an extremely hard worker. Great guy to train with and have in your corner.
Prime Female Role – Reporter Type:
- Between 27-33
- Can play witty and strong minded woman.
- Attractive and keeps self in decent shape. Not looking for a super model. Natural beauty. Cute. Someone that is on the go.
- Reporting experience a plus.

- Speaking role with significant screen time.
- This character is in 3 scenes.
Character Description:
This character is the classic reporter, tenacious and daring to get the story. She’s not shy and can be very sly. She’s out for the best stories to prove herself. She won’t back down and some even view her as a pest. She really just driven, always thinking. Very bright.
She’s in love with her work. And she has passion for the truth. She holds herself to a high standard and think of herself as honorable. She fights for what’s right. A person of the law and human rights. And she’s a sucker for a sad story or a story of struggle. She considers herself a story teller and believes everyone has the right to know, which makes her perfect for her profession.
The problem is her conscience and good spirit often gets the better of her, not allowing her to do a lot of things her colleagues will to move up on the ladder. Her sense of righteousness annoys her colleagues and tends to make her the laughing stock as they often mock her behind her back.
Most know not to mock her to her face, however, because she’s quick to defend herself and will often go overboard, not letting it go, when doing so. She’s smart and quick to pick up on things, especially through speech. So, you’re not going to pull one over on her.
She’s always calculating and thinking. And she has some street smarts to her as well. The perfect reporter’s attributes aside from the inability to give in to the dark side of news and getting ahead. But her persistence, neverending tenacity and pursuit for the ultimate story keeps her going. She’s determined to find her success, but only through being good at her work, not by selling out.
Knowledge is power to her. And getting knowledge to the people is the most important thing to her. It’s her primary directive. But she has a heart….and she has an admirer.
Prime Male Role – Athletic:
- Between 25-30
- This character has a younger version and actor must match up. Younger version is played by an actor of mixed heritage, being Italian and African-American. Very light brown skin. Please do not reply for this role unless you fit near to this.
- Athletic male, but not a physical role.
- Must be able to be outgoing on camera. Cannot be reserved.
- Speaking role with significant screen time.
- This character is in 3 scenes.
Character Description:
Obnoxious loud mouth that will always back his boy. He’s the guy everyone hates, but since he hangs with the big shot people leave him alone. He is loyal though, having always stuck with his friend through thick and thin. But it’s easy to stick with someone when they’re always winning. His loyalty has developed off of opportunity. But he does cherish his friendship and looks for his friend’s praise.
He’s not a weakling though. Has some boxing skill himself. But boxing is more of a game to him, not a career. He does it because his friend does it. He’s a follower. And he’s invested a lot of time into following, having followed his friend’s coat tails since they were kids.
He’ll be the first to speak up for his friend and the first to put others down in his friend’s wake. He is witty, but not that intelligent. Good with words, but it’s the way that he delivers them that make his verbal rants and attacks successful. He’s a showman, an announcer. He’s the dedicated hype man everyone wishes they had.
He’s willing to look like a complete jerk to be on the winning team and back his boy. It’s not even that he’s not confident or insecure in himself. He just doesn’t care. He knows where his loyalties lay and doesn’t care how he looks to others or about other people’s feelings. Shallow.
He and his friend are perfect fits for each other because they are both dicks.
Actor must be able to play later and early 20’s.

- Needs to be outgoing on camera. Not shy.
- Can be a bit comedic.

Short Character Description:
