BACKGROUND for "THE NAIL" "The Nail" is an independent feature film being shot here in Philly during June 2008. It stars Tony Luke Jr. and will be directed by James Quattrocchi, produced by Leo Rossi. "The Nail" is the dark story of an ex boxer who, under some unfortunate circumstances, is imprisoned for a number of years. Upon his release he is only able to afford a very modest apartment in a very low-class neighborhood. It is against this backdrop that he meets a young boy from an abusive household whom he begins to teach, amongst other things, how to box. It is an uncommon friendship and from it is born some uncommon respect. One thing leads to another, conflict ensues and the resolve is, to say the least, bittersweet. They are looking for background actors for the project: NON-UNION, ALL ages, ALL types. We particularly need LATINO talent. These are volunteer positions, but a great lunch will be provided. Most days, we can guarantee a "short" day. If interested and available, please e-mail a picture (be sure to include your contact info) to : silocasting@gmail.com No phone calls please. May 13 2008
