Casting: Motor City


Motor City Seeks African Americans and Hispanics. ALL roles are paying and work in Atlanta,  Georgia. If you have applied for the roles before, please re-apply IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR HAIR LOOK LIKE IT IS FROM THE 1970's. PLEASE NOTE: ALL ROLES FOR THIS FILM ARE STILL IN CONSIDERATION. NO ROLES HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY CAST.  Because this is a period piece (set in Detroit in the late 1970's), we are looking for men and women with very particular hairstyles.
~African American Roles~ (Scroll Down for Hispanic Roles)
During this time, "Natural" was in, in a big way for African Americans..  men were sporting styles ranging from mini afros to "sky high" afros. Every character we cast needs to look like it was from this time frame, so if you can make yourself look like you are from the 70's AND you fit the descriptions below, please feel free to submit. Take pictures sporting an AFRO as the character if at all possible. Make sure your photos are clear and big enough to print and show to the director (a minimum of 300k). The photos should be in great lighting so we can clearly see you.
