URGENT Male Actor Required For AFTRS Graduation Film: Russell Sprouts

We're currently casting for our AFTRS dark comedy graduation film Russell Sprouts!

We’re looking for a male actor who's not afraid to make a fool of himself, high energy, a quirky personality and a strong sense of humour to bring this story to life!

In a world where everything literal literally happens, a 10 year old boy named Russell constantly finds himself struggling with his immense fear of vegetables. After witnessing his father’s explosive death from swallowing a pumpkin seed, Russell refuses to eat his veggies, frightened that it’ll happen to him too. 30 years pass and Russell still hasn’t eaten a vegetable, and he still hasn’t grown up – because if you don’t eat your vegetables, you won’t grow big and strong. Living as a 40 year old trapped in a 10 year old’s body, Russell faces bullying, ridicule and harassment for his size, he just doesn’t fit into society. When Russell finds out the shocking news from his girlfriend that he’s about to become a father, he realises that he needs to let go of his childhood fear in order to support a child of his own.

We're planning on submitting Russell Sprouts to as many film festivals as we can, Australian and international!

Our crew consists of both current 3rd year AFTRS students and external crew members who are actively working in the film industry. We're a diverse and fun loving team with a passion for making our audience laugh!

Please note, this script is dark humoured - caution is advised!
