The background is dark with a subtle texture, and the text is prominently displayed in yellow and white. <br><br>At the top, in large yellow letters, it says "CASTING CALL" with the subtitle "Independent feature film is looking for male lead" in smaller white letters below it.<br><br>On the left side, the text describes the character "Eli," who is a complex, visually-impaired teenager aged 17-22 with a sharp mind and rebellious streak. The description details Eli's reliance on his younger brother, Ben, and his coping mechanisms, which include drugs, alcohol, esoteric audio-books, flight simulator video games, and playing piano. It mentions his struggle with alienation and his yearning for connection despite pushing people away. It also notes that previous acting experience is not necessary, and that being a musician is a plus, though not required. Blind or low vision individuals are preferred.<br><br>On the right side, there are instructions for applying. Applicants are asked to email <a href="mailto:kelly@studiocloy.com">kelly@studiocloy.com</a> and provide their full name, age, location, height, contact details, a recent photo or headshot, and a short intro video no longer than one minute.
