Crip Video Productions: Casting Call 2017: “A Stroke Of Endurance”
I am posting this to announce my new film project titled “A Stroke Of Endurance”, The film is
about a disabled college student who has Cerebral Palsy and her classmates who must deal the
physical and emotional ramifications of their professor becoming disabled in the middle of the
semester when they least expect it. The film will be roughly 17 minutes long, and will feature
some brand new abled bodied and physically disabled characters. Here is the list of the
characters we need to cast.

This film will also likely require a mix of young adult disabled and able bodied extras. Please let
me know if you would like to be an extra? Please provide phone number,email address, and
photo if possible when emailing the address(s) below.
All scenes will be shot in south Brooklyn, New York City (NYC). All scenes will be shot in
accessible locations. Non-professional actors as well as professional actors welcomed. No
acting experience required. PLEASE NOTE: This is a very low budget project so actors must be
willing to work PRO BONO(no pay)! However some food will be provided and the actors will
receive free DVD copies of the finished film(as many copies as they wish). Rehearsals and
shooting will take place around June/July 2017. I hope to release the film onto youtube and this
blog in late 2017 or early 2018 depending on how fast the post production process is.
