ST. KITTS AND NEVIS — Following his award-winning film Subnivean and critically-acclaimed film Crookery, filmmaker Jonathan Perry’s upcoming production is set to film in the Caribbean. The classified production under the pseudonym title Varuna will cast local actors in various starring and speaking roles.
Ohio-native Jonathan Perry is best known for his 2019 film Subnivean, which was acquired by Amazon Prime Video for international distribution, making him the youngest director on any major streaming service at the age of 17. The live-action film Varuna will use the Caribbean waters to replicate poaching culture in the Andaman Sea and thus needs a combination of ethnicities to cast. The motion picture is set for international theatrical release and will be filmed in May following all required pandemic safety measures.
Auditions are virtual. The production is seeking: Afro-Caribbean males (ages 10–70), Afro-Caribbean females (ages 21–50), Asian males (ages 25–40), Indian males (ages 40–60), Thai males (ages 25–40), and Burman males (ages 25–40). Only current residents of St. Kitts and Nevis will be considered. Email your name and full body picture to casting@muybridgefilms.com or text “Casting” to +1 419-967-5171. The deadline is February 28th, 11:59 PM EST.
