“Actor Matthew Lillard’s short film needs background actors

Actor Matthew Lillard (you know him from movies like SLC Punk and Scream) is directing a short film in Seattle, and we’re looking for background actors for next Monday, January 10th!
The short film, FAT PUNK which will later be adapted into a feature-length movie, is about punk rock music
saving the life of a teen.
The scene is at an UNDERGROUND rock show where the lead character, Troy (an obese teenager), is initiated into the world of rock and roll.

We’re looking for background actors under age 40, to play the music fans who come to the underground Seattle venue to see their favorite punk band perform.

What are you waiting for, go ahead and send Ben your details with a photo if you are able to make it there on 10th January, let him know that you found out about it whilst visiting MatthewLillardOnline!
This film sounds interesting, described as “funny, offbeat, and ultimately inspiring.”

It is based on the award-nominated young adult novel, Fat Kid Rules The World by K.L Going, which has an audiobook read by none other than Matthew himself!
