[Nfbc-info] Casting Blind Actor

[tim at timeldermusic.com]

We should applaud the entertainment industry trying to cast actual blind
people in roles depicting blind characters.  I hope someone auditions for
this:

 

 

A film director is hoping to cast a blind person to play a blind character
in this film instead of having a sighted actor pretending to be blind. 

 

 

Role: A smart, funny, lighthearted and quickwitted Jewish grandmother who is
blind.

Film Summary: "As a brother and sister describe what is happening in a movie
to their blind grandmother, they begin to realize they see things through
their different gender perspectives."

Company: Vanishing Angle

Shoot Date: 3/25, 3/26 Los Angeles CA

Pay: SAG deferred
