Capstone Casting Call: About Gone South
Gone South follows two seasoned criminals who enter a house hoping to find a large sum of money — only for everything to go sideways the moment they arrive. All roles are unpaid but offer a fun, professional on-set experience. If you have been building your performance skills in our Albuquerque acting classes, this is a great opportunity to apply them on a real capstone film set.
Roles Available
Dale (Male, 30s) — stern and quiet, a career criminal who likes to take his time. Blunt but not rude, and increasingly frustrated with his partner and the job at hand.
Bruce (Male, 30s) — arrogant and loud, the opposite of Dale in every way. Wants to get the job done fast, hates Dale, and is not shy about poking fun at everyone around him.
Adam (Male, 20s) — new to the criminal world and completely oblivious to it. Forgetful, can’t read a room, and brings a cheerful “new job, new friends” energy that clashes spectacularly with Dale and Bruce.
