The director of Meeting Mr. Christmas is still on the hunt to fill two significant female roles in the movie that will be filmed in Prince George from Feb. 6 to 19.
Laura Mitchell, writer/director of this movie and star of the movie A Great North Christmas that was filmed in Prince George last year, said she’s still looking for women in their 30s to fill two roles that have not yet been cast.
Meeting Mr. Christmas is about a popular travel blogger whose negative impressions about Christmas are challenged when she must team up with the holiday-loving town doctor in order to save her family’s annual Christmas event.
Mitchell is specifically in search of actors who can play:
Izzy - 30s (Open Ethnicity)
Izzy is Sophie’s best friend and fellow travel blogger. Izzy is spunky, high energy and fashionable. Izzy cares a lot about her friend. The pair met on a plane three years ago coming home from Barbados and have been inseparable ever since.
The other role is that of Miss Morrison - 30s (Open Ethnicity)
Pretty and affable, Mary Morrison is Mayberry Elementary School’s Grade 5 teacher. She is adored by her students and well known throughout the town. She flirts with Sam the bakery shop owner and later over the Christmas holiday as their romance develops.
To apply, email a recent headshot or photo along with information about any related experience if applicable.
Be sure to indicate which role is of interest and include all contact information, specifically a phone number. Email the photo and list of experience to meetingmrchristmas@gmail.com.
(Once the email has been sent check spam and junk folders often as some return emails have ended up there.)
For those who are not quite up to doing a speaking role there is a need for background performers and extras for some large crowd scenes including a Christmas gala, a children’s Christmas carnival, a sledding hill and the crowd at a Christmas carol competition.
There is also a need for crew and volunteers in the production design and art department, props department, lighting and grip, production assistants and drivers.
If interested in getting involved in the production in any capacity including crew or volunteering email meetingmrchistmas@gmail.com and be sure to include all contact information.
