Anything Goes : Pre-Production & Casting for a Short-Film to be made in Singapore by Sivaraj Pragasm

I'm currently in the midst of developing an Independent short film to be shot sometime early next year, as I'm still in the scriptwriting stage, the characters are more or less there but still pretty raw and normally what I like to do is to keep in mind, a few potential actors to play that role. This film is funded entirely by me and I'm also exploring the idea of crowd-funding and depending on how that works out, I can tell you now that even though I will pay you, I'll definitely not be able to afford market-rates, I should let this be known clearly first. So anyway, the short-film is about a guy, (main actor has already been confirmed) who has never had a girlfriend before and does not know what love is all about but he gets a chance to experience that when he meets an old mystic and his wife who, using a patented technique, allows him to explore a different dimension to see into the future and find out who the love of his life is but because of his crippling phobia of girls, the technique doesn't quite work the way it was supposed to and now armed with the knowledge of knowing who this girl is, it's up to him to get out of his comfort zone for once in his life and try to approach her. If you're still reading beyond this point, I take it that you're at least vaguely interested in this project by now so I'll let you in on what I'm looking for. Girl: 21-28, can be of any ethnicity but has to have a very pleasant smile, not too much dialogue but there may be a scene that involves nudity, so hit me up if you're okay with that. What I'm looking for is someone who has the confidence to tackle the character, someone who is able to portray a "mysterious object of affection" with a natural on-screen charm and most importantly, able to share a good chemistry with the main actor. Mystic: 50s-70s, someone with a darker skin tone although I'm not too picky if the options are limited. Someone with acting experience preferred because this character is one of the most complex in the whole film. Someone with clear diction and screen presence and able to portray both confidence and fear within the same scene. Mystic's Wife: 40s-50s, though largely a supporting character, the Mystic's Wife is actually one of the strongest characters in this story, pulling the strings for some parts of the story, therefore I require someone who can pull off an air of confidence with a motherly charm attached to this role. I'm fine with any ethnicity because what I'm looking for more importantly, is chemistry with the guy who is going to play the Mystic. Some of my descriptions may seem vague or a little complicated that's why I'm posting this because what I normally like to do is source out potential actors, meet them up and discuss the story with them and if possible, workshop the script with them so if you're interested in this project, do e-mail me at sivaraj.pragasm@gmail.com or just talk to me on Facebook, I'm fine either way, thanks and hope to hear from you soon. For those of you who have no idea who I am, well....here's a link to some of the stuff I've done so far. Help me forward this to those whom you think may fit the bill, thanks! http://sivarajpragasm.wix.com/film
