Calling all Children (Ages 4-10)

UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response, the casting call is currently closed.

Many of you are already familiar with the mission of ONWARD FILMS. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to preserving and protecting the art of childhood through film and various other media.

For some time I have been wanting to film a short documentary series on individual children and their dreams and the power to utilize their imagination to build those dreams.

We've all been there, right? These films are meant to be nothing more than a reminder of the responsibility we, as a adults, have to nurture these dreams and allow children the opportunities to think big--to dream the impossible.

If you live in the Southern California area and you have a child that might be interested in being a part of this series, and you think they might do well in front of the camera, shoot me an email with your child's answer to the following question"

QUESTION FOR CHILDREN: What do you want to be when you grow up?

PARENTS: We can talk more in detail about what would take place. Depending on the concept we work up, the commitment would be no more than three hours. This is a non-commercial endeavor; therefore, there is no pay, but you will certainly receive a copy of the film and be featured on the web site and various other media outlets.

WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE: I hope to make this an ongoing project, but I would like to start filming in the next month and then continue thereafter.

Depending on the response, and due to time constraints, I might not be able to film everybody. I also don't want to have five films on children who want to be police officers, so I will have to use a little artistic discretion for the sake of the overall series.

Although I am designing a slightly different concept with this series, if you would like to see an example of where I am going with this take a look below:
