Calling all actors - and anyone who has ever wanted to try acting. I’m putting together a virtual table read for a feature film called Saw the Light, a family-friendly father-daughter road trip story. We’re looking for roughly 20 actors/readers to help fill both principal and supporting roles. Some readers may cover multiple smaller parts. A few important details: The project already has a significant amount of funding in place, and the lead producer will be on the call. This is not a casting guarantee, but it is a real opportunity to be involved in the creative process and read in front of the producer attached to the film. The plan is for the film to go into production later this year. Date: May 3 Time: 3:00 PM Eastern Length: Approximately 2 hours Format: Virtual table read Table reads are always a lot of fun, but they’re also incredibly valuable. You’ll be helping the filmmakers hear the story out loud, test the characters, and gather feedback before production. Below are the primary principal roles we’re looking to fill, along with several smaller roles that may be combined. Interested? Please email me at [email protected] with your interest and experience level. (You do not need to match exactly) Thanks in advance. MAIN ROLES: Character EUGENE Male 40s Native American Native American father chasing stardom through a Hank Williams contest. PRESLEY Female 15 Native American Eugene’s teenage daughter; gifted dancer and the emotional anchor of the story. GRANDMA Female 60s Native American Presley’s grandmother; wise, funny, and faith-filled. THEODORE Male 70s White Friendly older man running the Hank Williams impersonator contest.

Hey Team, Thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey to build a thriving community. Your presence, energy, and engagement have meant a lot. As many of you know, maintaining this platform comes at a monthly cost, and while we made meaningful strides, we weren’t able to grow the group to a level that makes it sustainable long-term. With that in mind, I’ve made the difficult decision to close down the group. That said, this is by no means goodbye. You can always connect with me over on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronnewcomb/, and continue learning and growing through The Indie Coach Podcast on YouTube: Podcast Playlist. I'm cheering you on and look forward to seeing what you create next. All the best, Ron
