Coronado – Auditions for the short film “Best in Bowl” will take place on Saturday, May 24, from 12 noon to 2 pm at the Ruby Room in the Coronado Public Library. This comedic film, which humorously reflects the esteemed lawn bowling competitions popular in Coronado, is inviting actors of all backgrounds, abilities, and ages to participate in the audition process, including teens and senior citizens.
The film is currently being shot on location in Coronado, under the direction of Tony Perri, an Emmy Award-winning producer, writer, and director. Perri’s aim for “Best in Bowl” is to create a mockumentary in the vein of famed filmmaker Christopher Guest, known for his works like “Best in Show” and “This is Spinal Tap”. This style of filmmaking typically features a blend of scripted and improvised dialogue, giving it an authentic and humorous take on the subjects it portrays.
The executive producers for “Best in Bowl” are the Coronado Public Library and the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission, showcasing a community effort to bring this unique story to life. Following its completion, the film will be submitted to several film festivals across the country, highlighting local talent and the charm of Coronado.
In conjunction with the auditions, a hands-on film class with director Tony Perri is scheduled from April 26 to June 14, offering participants a deeper insight into film production and acting techniques. This class will not only provide practical experience but also enhance the skills of aspiring filmmakers and actors in the Coronado community.
Individuals interested in auditioning are encouraged to prepare for a brief performance, and all materials needed for the audition process will be provided on-site. This event aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of previous acting experience, has an opportunity to showcase their talent. The format aims to be as inclusive as possible to foster local participation and creativity.
Auditions present a unique opportunity for residents to be part of a project that highlights the quirks and charm of lawn bowling, an often-overlooked sport, providing comedic insight into the personalities drawn to it. The film aims to not only entertain but also popularize this aspect of Coronado culture.
As May 24 approaches, those wishing to audition are advised to arrive early to ensure ample time for participation and to familiarize themselves with the space and procedures.
