The producer and director of an upcoming local fliek is offering an opportunity for more people to audition for new roles he has created.
Ashley Pienaar, who is the chief executive officer of Power Generation Foundation Media and Film Academy (PFG), along with a stellar cast of actors including Maurice Paige, Loukmaan Adams and A’eesha Petersen, is currently filming White Lies, about a Stellenbosch family where Deon (Loukmaan) lives a double life.
Ashley explains: “Deon, a well-established business and family man, lives a double life as the perfect husband and father, but also as an underworld kingpin.”
Deon is married to a blonde named Karlien and together they have three children.
Deon makes millions from human trafficking and international drug distribution but Karlien is oblivious to her husband’s dark side.
Deon is under investigation for supplying Elsies River skollies with drugs, money, guns and ammunition, the same gangs that abduct women for him.
Meanwhile, his henchman AB, played by Maurice, is his only contact with Koppe, played by Enslin Grootboom, who is the leader of the gang.
Ashley says: “We developed three new characters while we were working through scripts and we need extras as well.
“This Saturday we have the last audition to find these acts as we already shot the teasers and trailers. We have rehearsals every week with the cast of 74.
“Everything is falling into place and we already have our distribution deal.”
Casting takes place on Saturday at 12pm at 16 Voortrekker Road, Tygervalley Sentrum in Bellville on the 5th floor. Call 061 154 8317.
