WILDWOOD - CASTING
I'm casting WILDWOOD, a dramatic coming of age feature film set in the titular town of Wildwood, New Jersey. WILDWOOD is written and to be directed by Chloe Chippendale, with Robert Richardson (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, CASINO) DPing. WILDWOOD is projected to shoot on location in Wildwood, New Jersey in Summer 2025. The story follows an ensemble of adolescents led by Nate, an 18-year-old with an off beat family, as their paths cross in a multiplicity of plots. Kids smoke dope, get the car, wreck it, get drunk, sass their parents, fuck, fight, disobey the taboo of race-mixing and stumble into uninhibited teenage love. For them, it’s that pivotalsummer everyone gets once in their life, when you know everything’s about to change, but you don’t know how... We are seeking actors and non actors to play the various roles listed below. No prior acting experience is required. Mainly seeking locals of Wildwood, NJ. See video below for visual reference of what we are looking for:
