Chest Work Chest WorkIt's 2006 and 17 year old Deirdre has insecurities about her appearance. She is considering breast implants to attract attention. She soon realizes that her problems are pale compared to the 10 year old boy from two blocks away that requires a heart transplant just to see his eleventh birthday.

We set up an other audition date at Ed Video Media Arts Centre for Tuesday June 20th. I'm slowly getting back to everyone and replying to their questions ASAP. Thank you for your understanding.
The Toronto auditions are over. What a crazy day. We couldn't find parking. We got there with ten minutes to spare and the place was closed. There was no one there. So what could we do. We held the first 3 auditions in the hallway before we could move the auditions to Trinity Square Video. It is the place to go.
The three actors that auditioned in the hallway did an amazing job of keeping the scene going even though there was people walking on and off the elevator. There was even a few people chasing a dog that got out in the hallway.
Most of the actors found the new location and once agian I would like to apolgize for change of loction. It was beond our control.
Any ways, we saw some amazing talent and it was well worth the trip, but I think I'm going to stay in sleepy old Guelph.

Please note: We placed an advertisement on mandy.com for actors and we have received hundreds of emails. Thank you to everyone for your interest in our production. We will be replying to each and every email but it may take some time to consider each applicant. Thank you for your understanding and we will be in touch.
We will set up an appointment for the audition that works for the actor/actress and we will be adding more dates to our audition dates in the next few days.
There was a same over sight to the advertisement. Unfortunately we do not have the funds for this project to relocate actors for the duration of filming, so we are only considering actor / actress from Ontario Canada for this production.
