Audition for "Climb On," a RomCom about Finding Love in the World of Climbing!

• Are you an actor? (amateur or comfy being on camera)
• Are you a climber?
• Want your 15 minutes of fame?

I am looking for climbers who can act or are super comfy being in front of the camera for a for a 30-minute film about climbing, and falling in love! The film is called "Climb On."

It will be a serio-comic genre so so comic and serious genre (you don't have to be a professional actor as long as you can be natural on film and are comfortable in front of a camera) Think youtube or TikTok :)

Film Synopsis: Two overconfident software engineers attempt to use an indoor climbing gym to pick up women. After aggressively hitting on two experienced female climbers, they find themselves invited on a challenging outdoor climb at Lake Tahoe. Faced with a life-or-death situation, will they learn valuable lessons about respect and community, or meet a tragic end?

What we need:
We're looking for actors of all ages and backgrounds to bring this story to life. Climbing experience is a plus but not required.

Key Roles:

• Aaron & Chad: Male, 25-35, software engineers, overconfident (Chad is super cocky, a male Karen, a tool) but capable of growth, looking for dates at a local climbing gym. Aaron follows Chad around in his shadow, is introverted, shy but has a heart but keeps it hidden until the end of film
• Denise & Maureen: Female, 25-35, experienced climbers, well respected and liked in climbing community. Somewhat feminists but more about protecting the lands. Both graduated from liberal arts colleges and work for a non profit that protects lands and animals. Kindest souls all about compassion, community and being treated with dignity and respect. Maureen (Mo) is more of a tomboy. Denise is more fem yet quietly tough
• Gym Manager Sarah: Female, 30-45, assertive and safety-conscious
• Front desk staff at Mission Cliffs Lead Climbers
• Park Ranger - Yosemite and Marin Headlands (2)
• Lead Organizer and event organizers of of a climbing meetup
• Route setters
• Various supporting roles: Climbers, bar staff, fellow tech workers, Karens, retail workers, drag queens etc.

We also need a crew:
Social media/marketer, a second camera person, an editor, a musician, a fundraiser, a production assistant

Pay:
This is a local, independent production. While this is an unpaid opportunity, it offers great experience and exposure in the SF film and climbing communities.At this time we might only be able to pay you with REI gift cards or climbing swag and credit, public accolades in film and marketing
