Do you want to be in a movie? Well, just fit yourself into the following basic requirements and you could be:
Live in the UK
Can use a lasso
Say “whoa Cowboy” like a Cowboy
Do you fit that? The BBC have printed the news about this very need on a Tartan Shorts film currently underway in Glasgow:
They have been trying to find someone in the UK who can use a lasso in a fight scene in the Tartan Short film ‘At the End of the Sentence’.
The bid to snare a budding western star has turned into a race against time as shooting on the set starts in less than two weeks’ time…
…Producer Susan Nickalls, of company Brazen Hussies, said: “We’re on a shoestring – these things usually are. But we can promise lots of fun and fame – but not a fortune. “The final climax of the film is a scene in a pub where a rather pathetic fight breaks out and just as someone’s about to clock somebody else on the head with a chair a cowboy whips his lasso round a chair and says whoa cowboy!”
Damn…I gave up the lasso years ago, but there’s hope for me yet:
Susan said she had found a “few people who can use a bull whip” but she has been holding out for that special person who can use a lasso with style.
…Oh, I was thinking of something else.
If you fit the bill and are game, then give the Production team a call. The number is on the BBC site. If you do, let us know how you get on.
