Casting


Casting 13 year old for the independent feature film MORRIS IN AMERICA.


Start Date: September 15, 2014


Location: Berlin and Heidelberg Germany
Email submissions or questions to eydeb@aol.com.


[MORRIS] (Lead) 13 years old. African American. Chubby, big-boned or overweight. Morris is still coming into his own skin, opinions, and taste. He is quiet and sensitive but able to stand up for himself against aggression. He is smart and adaptable. He loves American hip-hop music and rap.  Some freestyle skills are an extreme plus but not a requirement.


The story revolves around a 13-year-old, African- American boy named Morris and  the relationship he has with his father, Curtis, during the transitional period of adolescence. Complicating matters is the fact that due to Curtis’s work, they  are new residents of Heidelberg, Germany- a city of rich history but little diversity.
