California surfers with silver screen dreams flock to open casting call in Santa Cruz for unnamed film from “Academy Award-winning team!”

In God's Hands.

We all, each of us here, harbor latent dreams, fantasies about what life might have looked like if a turn had been made here instead of there, a pivot there instead of here. Sliding doors, man, but what might have you become if the chips fell… better? An astronaut zooming through space? A rock ‘n’ roll superstar shaking your hips on stage in front of adoring thousands? Chief Executive Officer of the World Surf League, counting Jordy Smith, Connor O’Leary, Jadson Andre amongst your very best friends?

An actor?

Well, guess what? Acting takes no real talent and so your dream could still be achieved and, as fate would have it, there is an open casting call happening right this moment in Santa Cruz. Do I have your attention?

Per Action News:

Santa Cruz Surf Project has posted an open casting call for young surfers on the Central Coast for a major feature film.

“The film will be created by an Academy Award-winning filmmaking team — who’d love to meet you! No acting experience required,” reads the release to the public.

The movie is looking for surfers of any ethnicity or gender, between the ages of 14-22.

The casting call will be Saturday, Aug. 27 from 12-5 p.m. at Santa Cruz High School Auditorium 415 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz, CA 95060.

“Once you arrive, we’ll get you checked in and ready to go – no need to prepare anything, just bring your authentic self! Please come prepared for wait times. If you have any questions, please direct them to [email protected].”

Time is ticking.

But, quickly, what movie do you think this casting is for? I’m going to guess Barbarian Days. Also, which amongst your friends here do you think would make the best actor? I’m going to say Michael Newman.

Now get thee to Santa Cruz High School Auditorium!

I always thought I would be an ok actor until I actually got in front of a film camera and full crew while being an extra on a movie. I couldn’t let myself go like the other extras that were all from a local drama school. they just got right in to it and i just had to play to my strengths by being a surly guy at the bar.
got to hang out with Alice Eve for a few days as my friend was producing the film. so that was a bonus.

Blue Crush was on the telly the other night and I was surprised by how good it was. For context, I watched The Mummy last night and enjoyed that too. Although, what the fuck was up with Rachel Weisz’s eyebrows!?

I just found out today that the CVS receipts I have been “recycling” for years are not recyclable and actually have toxins in the ink. I will continue to throw them in the recycling though as it makes me feel better than putting them in the trash.

If many pro surfers can act like bitches all the time, and you tell me acting takes no talent…does it just come preternaturally for them? Or did they go to a high-tech sports academy to acquire the skills? More questions than answers.

There’s probably more than a few cats here with a bottle in one hand and their .22 caliber in the other, pointed at their own temples. Anti-depressive.
