MISSOULA — Casting Director Rene Haynes will be conducting an open casting session for a feature film to be shot this summer. Haynes' repertoire, which includes "Skins, Into the West, and Dreamkeeper," seeks Native American boys, ages 10-17, for principal speaking roles, with no acting necessary for "Winter in the Blood," a novel by James Welch.

Haynes also seeks Native men and women in their mid 20's through mid 50's for both principal speaking and non-speaking roles.

Casting calls take time and those interested should be prepared to wait. For more information, directions, and/or if you plan on attending and would like to receive a short audition scene in advance, please visit the web site at: http://winterinthebloodfilm.com

Open Casting will be Saturday - Sunday, Feb. 13 - 14, from 11AM to 3PM at the University of Montana UC, Room 332. Free parking is available on weekends by the UC.

Boys under age 18 should attend with a parent, legal guardian, or provide written consent to be filmed. The Open Casting session is free for everyone.

Anyone unable to attend this casting session, there will be another casting call in the spring in central Montana posted on the film's web site.
