Hello everyone, I’m currently casting a Non-Union Independent Narrative Feature "Ephemera" - the production films in Shanghai China, mid-late August 2024 (10-14 days). The production is looking for Asian Female talents (preferably Q***r identifying) who speaks Mandarin Chinese to fill the leading role(s) I the film.
Talent Compensation: $250 USD per filming day; Travel, Transportation, Lodging will be provided by production.
The only requirements are the performer must be able to speak Mandarin Chinese (as it is a Chinese film) and have a valid Passport to travel to China if cast. Pretty much we are looking for talents from anywhere in the world, as long as the person is able to submit a self-tape and is able to travel. (or local in China, even better).

Submission:
Send headshot & resume to: [email protected]
Kindly note your full name and the character you’re interested in in the email subject.
Selected talents will be given instructions to submit a self-tape audition.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

Synopsis: Post-pandemic, present-day Shanghai. Asher participates in a hip-hop lesson in a dance studio situated on a busy street. She can’t stop glancing at the dance teacher. Following the class, Asher musters the courage to ask Tori out, disclosing that it's her final evening in Shanghai before leaving for Los Angeles. To her delight, Tori accepts. They wander in the historic French Concession as dusk falls - a blend of palpable anticipation and subtle awkwardness. Conversations flow freely, encompassing their experiences, families, and personal histories. However, beneath their apparent compatibility lies a growing awareness of cultural and personal disparities.

Seeking:

Asher (she/they): Female, early 30s, American-born Chinese, used to work as a corporate UI/UX designer in Los Angeles. Having split their lifetime in LA and Shanghai, Asher has recently quit the designer job to return to Shanghai. This decision was long overdue, partly due to the need for a fresh start and partly because Dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. "The best way to remember is to live in the moment." Embracing their Shanghai moment, Asher discovers a passion for hip-hop dancing and falls in love - with both the dance form and dance teacher Tori. The character identifies as Q***r. Must be comfortable with make-out scenes (kissing, caressing, hugging, etc.) with a female scene partner. No nudity. Nothing explicit. Must have a valid Passport. Talent must be able to speak Mandarin Chinese. Lead.

Tori (she/her): Female, late 20s, freelance hip-hop dance instructor, born and raised in China, has been navigating the bustling metropolitan scene of Shanghai for five years. Hardworking and witty. Perceptive and empathetic. But she's also good at keeping people at arm’s length because her personal reality and the broader national context discourage her from fully expressing her true self. But deep down she yearns for stable companionship. The character identifies as Q***r. Must be comfortable with make-out scenes (kissing, caressing, hugging, etc.) with a female scene partner. No nudity. Nothing explicit. Must have a valid Passport. Talent must be able to speak Mandarin Chinese. Dance experience is a plus. Lead.

WE’RE BACK! Janet Yang Productions and CAPE are thrilled to announce that submissions are now open for Year 3 of the Julia S. Gouw Short Film Challenge for API Women and Non-Binary Filmmakers! 4 filmmakers will be selected to receive $25,000 production grants to complete their short films, mentorship and networking opportunities provided by CAPE, Janet Yang, and Julia S. Gouw, and more resources than ever to support and accelerate their careers!

We began this challenge because for far too long, Hollywood has been an insular, exclusive club...and somewhat of a “boys’ club” at that. But times are changing. Our very first year, the shorts screened at festivals such as Sundance and SXSW, as well as major Asian and Pacific Islander film festivals such as CAAM and LAAPFF. We wrapped Year 2 just last month, when our four grant winners Dorothy Xiao, Kristy Choi, Rippin Sindher, and Shruti Parekh hosted a tremendous screening of their shorts at AMC Theatres!

Submissions for YEAR 3 of the Julia S. Gouw Short Film Challenge are open now until Monday, May 20, 2024. Learn more and apply at capeusa.org/short-film-challenge!

Storyline:
In his early 80’s, a retired ceramics teacher takes up a job opportunity, in China, teaching via an artificially intelligent version of himself. Toward the end of a semester defined by his absence, Aaron learns that one of his students has been falling behind. The student, Jin Lì, has become increasingly despondent in relation to Aaron’s AI. Through tense interactions, Aaron attempts to break through this artificial barrier to connect with Jin.

Seeking Mandarin Speaking Actor to portray:
-[JIN] Asian Male, age 17-30. A College student at the Chinese International School. When he was little, Jin's parents took him to visit the only surviving Míng Dynasty kiln in Jingdezhen. Ever since then, he has had a fascination with ceramics. For a long time, he was not strong enough to turn clay on a pottery wheel. Now in college, he has found himself struggling to connect with the art form. His teacher, Aaron Clark, is an American who has elected to teach his class via an artificially intelligent version of himself. In this distant future, AI has become commonplace in Chinese classrooms. Up until this point, Jin has only had to deal with AI instructors in classes with subjects he hasn't cared about. Without the genuine connection of a mentor, Jin feels like his work is under-appreciated and he is undervalued as a student. He has become rebellious and despondent in relation to his artificial instructor. Despite Aaron having decided to hold his final critique sessions personally, one-on-one, Jin is uninterested in meeting with him. He decides to fight fire with fire. Jin sends an artificial version of himself to conduct his critique. Furthermore, he programs it to be as disrespectful and despondent as he feels. This kicks off the conflict we follow throughout the film. Talent must speak fluent Mandarin Chinese, please note fluency in your submission. Supporting.
