Talent Search for girl to star in 'Dance of the Mirlitons' with Kristen Bell

Original Film and Cinemagic Productions are currently in pre-production on the feature film 'Dance of the Mirlitons'. Original Film is the production company behind such films as the Fast and Furious films, The Bounty Hunter, I Am Legend, xXx: State of the Union, Made of Honor, and many more. Shooting on 'Dance of the Mirlitons' begins in November, 2010.

Here is what the casting directors are seeking:

JESSE URCHIN: Female, Caucasian 10 to 12 years old. Should be at least a little overweight or awkward in some way, and have some knowledge of Ballet. Jesse is Corrine Urchin's daughter, is a seemingly unassuming girl and an unlikely ballerina. She has a passion for dance, she's thrilled when she's accepted to the Battleboro School for Young Dancers, but outraged to discover that the video tape sent to the school was that of her mother, a former ballet dancer. To make matters worse, innocent and naïve Jesse is relegated to a special education class based simply on her physique. Incensed by this atrociousness, Jesse plots her revenge, becoming tenacious and ambitious to a fault. She heeds the lesson her mother has taught her throughout her childhood, "I am a warrior", and approaches her revenge with that mentality. Further galvanized upon learning that the school will beholding auditions for the coveted role of Sleeping Beauty in the ballet of the same name, Jesse is determined to land the plum role, no matter what it takes.

No phone calls or personal drop-offs to any of the casting offices.
