I’m a student in Prof. Katzman’s RTVF47 class and need a male lead for my film. The film, The Radical, is about a college student involved in student activism as a fad. He has visions of becoming a political firebrand but in reality is too timid to commit himself. The character is hypocritical and flaky, I’m sure most people know someone like him. Actors should know that this film will be post-synch sound meaning voice overs and sound effects are added in post production and there will be minimal dialogue.

I am looking to shoot the weekend of March 27-29.
My name is Brian Tannenbaum and I can be reached at btanne3@pride.hofstra.edu or on my cell at (516)343-8044 where a voicemail can be left for me if I don’t pickup.
