Casting and Crew Calls

Shooting Dates: Sept. 2-5, 2025

Location: Bitterroot Valley, Hamilton to Missoula, MT

Logline: In 1970s Montana, a roguish but out-of-place cowboy struggles to decide if he'd like to be the hero or the outlaw.

Roles: Speaking and non-speaking roles, paid and unpaid roles available

Compensation: Food and gas paid for, with hourly wages available for speaking roles (see details below)

Characters (speaking roles):

• Lucky (paid, male, 30-45): a townie and ranch hand who drifts from scheme to scheme — frequently landing him in jail. Good hearted and humorous, a veritable rascal, he wants to be an old school outlaw but can’t always overcome his own conscience. He may have finally found a heist that will make him a legend.
• Sheriff Crowley (paid, male, 55-65): a hard-nosed and driven old lawman who doggedly pursues Lucky. Driven by duty and a sense of justice, he also has real affection and hope that Lucky can get on the straight and narrow.
• Maud (female, 40-60:) a secretary for the county sheriff’s office. She’s seen all kinds of characters come through her jail, and she’s not amused — or threatened — by any of their antics. She’s tough, terse and all business, all the time.
• Professor Jack (male, 45-65): a former psychology professor from the university who defected and led his little flock of new age, hippie religionists to start a commune in the valley. He’s physically imposing and speaks softly and gently, but he’s willing to do anything to ensure the survival of his movement.
• Roulette (male, 50-65): a kind and patient old cowboy who gave Lucky work on his ranch before he leased it to the hippies. He’s old, physically broke, partially blind and ready to slow down, but he wants to help Lucky straighten himself out.
• Tanya (female, 20-40): a tough, no nonsense bartender and cowgirl, used to dealing with rowdy cowboys.
• Maggie (female, 20-30): a loyal, loving and religious small town girl who just found out Lucky lied to her about being properly married.
• Hippie Girl (female, 20-40): a sweet and enthusiastic follower of Professor Jack and a proud member of the commune.
