David and Goliath - Casting

A world-wide search for the actor to play the lead character of 'David' for the big-budget movie, 'David and Goliath' is taking the casting directors to London, Rome, Los Angeles, New York, and even Berlin.

"We're leaving no stone unturned," says Director Tim Chey. "We want the very best actor to play young David."

'David and Goliath' commences shooting next month in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. "We've narrowed our list to 12 incredible actors," says a casting spokesperson. "We had over 1,500 submissions."

The film looks at one of the most powerful and beloved Bible stories of all time and will focus on the early life of David who fought against the Philistine giant, Goliath against all odds.

"We've had lots of name actors submit, but we want an unknown actor," Chey continues. "We want the audience to really get into the character of who David was and not be tainted by any familiarity."

Chey is no stranger to casting in foreign territories. He produced the $20 million film, 'Carry Me Home' that took his casting directors around the world for an unknown actor to play John Newton. The film stars Cuba Gooding, Jr., Sharon Leal, William Sadler, and unknown Bernard Forcher. It was shot on the Amistad. 'Carry Me Home,' is slated to open nationwide in December 2014. You can see the trailer at CarryMeHomeMovie.net.

'David and Goliath' comes at a perfect time. Hollywood is embracing faith-based films as of late and the audiences are growing at a record pace according to reports.

Will 'David and Goliath' stay Biblically correct? "Absolutely," says Chey. "Hollywood should embrace true Believers to tell Biblical stories."

'David and Goliath' is set for an early-2015 nation-wide theater release. "We will have the P&A for a 1,500 theater release," says Chey.

Kendrick Brothers - Casting

Actor ApplicationCrew Application

Kendrick Brothers Productions is excited to announce that we will be casting for our fifth feature film throughout the month of April. While some potential key cast members have already been contacted, most positions are yet to be filled. It is not too late for talented Christian actors and filmmakers to submit an application.

Between now and May 1st, our team will be going through the 1,300+ actor and crew applications submitted on our website and contacting those specific individuals we believe are a potential fit for an acting role or crew position. We are grateful for the number of people from across the nation who have applied online and look forward to building another outstanding movie team. If you have submitted an application, we ask that you be patient with the process and not contact us to see if you have been selected.

The production schedule is currently set for 6 weeks of shooting later this year. While we are not ready to reveal the movie title, we are very excited about the theme, unique storyline, and journey the characters will experience throughout the film.

We ask that you pray that God continues to carry our team throughout the pre-production process and clearly reveals His specific choice for each role and position. He has always been faithful in the past, and we are asking for His continued guidance and provision now. We are not merely looking for talent and willingness, but for people who will become ambassadors for the message of this movie.

Join us in asking God to be glorified throughout this process and through the finished product. Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Roses - Rachel Hendrix & Gregory Alan Williams

Just 2 months ago we took a step of faith and launched a Kickstarter campaign trusting that God would meet our needs. We had no idea where our journey would lead and every week we continue to be amazed by the doors that God opens.

It’s my distinct pleasure to announce the lead actors for our film.

Rachel Hendrix as “Jessica Harper”

Many of you watched “October Baby” when it arrived in nationwide theaters last year and remember Rachel’s stellar performance. We can’t wait to see Rachel fully develop her character of recently blinded “Jessica”.

Gregory Alan Williams as “Kevin Rodgers”

For 25 years, Gregory has brought his talents to screens across the globe. One of his most memorable roles was as a football coach alongside Denzel Washington in “Remember the Titans”. We’re excited about the experience and gravitas that Gregory will bring to “Kevin”.

Want to Help?

1. We Need Food

Apart from everything that goes into making a film (scripts, cast, crew, equipment, etc.) there are still a few basic items. Namely, food.

We’re looking for people who would like to sponsor a meal or snacks for our project. If you like to cook and would like to support Roses, this is the opportunity for you! You might even meet some of the cast and crew and see a little of the set too.

Participation could be as involved as cooking and serving a meal for 35 people, or as simple as dropping off a batch of cookies.

What

Provide a meal or snacks for the cast and crew of Roses on October 8th, 9th or 10th. Here are some ideas:

  • An entire meal
  • A dessert
  • Pre-packaged snacks (granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers, etc.)
  • Your favorite homemade snack
  • A veggie or fruit tray
  • If you have something else in mind you’d like to share then let us know!

Where 

  • Food can be dropped off at the catering base in the New Sweden area.
  • You can bring the food to the shooting locations in Manor or Austin.
  • We may be able to pick up the food from you.

How

If you’d like to help with a meal or snacks then send an email to catering@rosesmovie.com.

2. We Need an RV

Ideally, we’re looking for an RV that our actors can use as a green room for 1 or more days. Usage would be minimal and would primarily just be a place where the actors could get out of the heat between takes.

If you have an RV that would be suitable or know someone that does then just email me at paul@rosesmovie.com.

Almost There!

Only 7 days away from filming… wow! Please continue praying for us as we enter the final stretch. Please especially pray that our team would bond and that we would have energy and wisdom.
