Are you ready to make your mark on Atlanta's film and TV industry? Are you the next Tyler Perry? ATL is in need of young stars. Check out the Peach City's latest casting call for your chance at fame.

'Best of Enemies'

Taraji P. Henson, who stars in "Empire" and filmed "Hidden Figures" in Atlanta, stars in this civil rights drama that's based on a true story. She portrays Ann Atwater, an activist who battles Ku Klux Klan leader C.P. Ellis until the two co-chair a two-week meeting about court-ordered desegregation, changing both of their lives.

What are they looking for?

Black males of all ages who have medium to dark skin tone and are able to grow their hair out quickly in a late '60s early '70s style are needed. You'll need to start growing it out now and let it grow until the end of filming (July 3). You should also be willing to grow out or cut your facial hair, and your schedule should be flexible.

When are they filming?

Filming will take place in the Atlanta area from May-July.

How much does it pay?

Pay is to be determined.

How do I submit?

Send an email to Submissions@CatrettCasting.com with the subject line "WILLING TO GROW." Include three clear, well-lit recent photos of yourself as well as your name, age, height, weight and current phone number. Also state that you're willing to start growing your hair out immediately if selected.
