Synopsis: Twin Yolk Productions is casting for the Water, Texas What’s Your Story? short film contest being held by The Texas Water Foundation. Production will be in July and the production is looking for four roles to fill. The plot involves a night of drinking for four college friends and how their use of water (or lack thereof) affects their evening and the following morning. While most submissions will most likely focus on truly personal stories, maybe even leaning towards documentary style, Twin Yolk Productions would like to tell a story that many of the college students in Austin can relate to.

Special Notes for Potential Cast/Crew: Among the many exciting aspects of the competition is that Oscar nominated director Richard Linklater will be on the panel of judges! The production is very excited to help raise awareness regarding the true vale of our water sources and we hope to attract talent that feels the same way with our short film, Whiskey and a Water.
The casting call will take place on Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th at Habitat Suites in Austin, Texas from 10AM to 4PM. Please send headshots and resumes as well as a link to previous work to jason.r.mcguire@gmail.com or michaelwmusselman@gmail.com.
