The San Diego 48 Hour Film Project will be having its annual open auditions at the Tower Room at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley this Saturday, June 29 2024.

If you are acting talent…

Please bring headshots if you have them, your contact information, and be prepared to deliver a one minute monologue of your choosing from a favorite play or movie script that showcases your talent. All skill levels are welcome. Audition spots are first-come first-served.

If you are casting actors…

Be prepared to take notes, make contacts and have questions and direction for actors that are relavent to the kind of films you may end up making for the 48. For example, if your writing team’s strengths are comedic, you may ask the actor to repeat one of the lines of their monologue in that tone.
