Actors between the ages of 18 and 65 who could portray college students, lawyers, security guards, pastors or executive types can audition for roles during the call Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 5 Shackleford Drive.

Actors must have some previous experience in film, TV or theater and should bring a headshot and resume, the film’s casting director said in a news release.

Roles in the film listed on the casting company’s website include:

[SYDNEY] FEMALE, 20-21 yrs. old, CAUCASIAN. Sydney is a friend to Keaton (her roommate), Adam, and Mateo. Feisty, but also good- natured. She’s smart, loyal, and supportive of Mateo’s endeavors in activism. More extroverted than Keaton.

[THOMAS ELLSWORTH] MALE, 50-55 yrs. old, CAUCASIAN. The president of Hadleigh University, Thomas is stately and polished, if not a bit physically imposing. He’s comfortable in his own skin as the face of the university with all of the best qualities of an effective politician. A long-time friend of Dave’s, he maintains a friendly, affable approachability despite his lofty status. SUPPORTING

[REVEREND ROLAND DIAL] MALE, 60-65 yrs. old, AFRICAN-AMERICAN. Pastor of an affluent Baptist church. A moving preacher and good communicator. His many years behind the pulpit in predominately black churches situated in the deep south have not dimmed his inner light and in fact have only made him stronger in his faith and resolve.
