Casting for the movie "I Was Trafficked" or "Girls for Sale"
Notice: This movie deals with the tough subject of sex trafficking.
The target rating for this movie is PG-13. There will be no nudity, however it may be implied. Some of the scenes will be very intense and may cause the movie to get an R rating. There is no profanity written in the script, however, if an actor adds mild profanity during filming, it will be the director's discretion if it remains.
This is the first joint project of AMMO: the Arkansas Movie Makers Organization and IPG: the Indie Producer's Guild. AMMO and IPG have higher standards of decency than typical Hollywood productions. Although this movie will not be kid-friendly viewing, it is a pro-family movie that will help prevent young girls from being kidnapped by sex traffickers.
To get an idea of the thematic elements, see the movies "Human Trafficking" or "Taken". The purpose of this movie is to raise awareness of human trafficking and to protect women.
Note: Due to low funding, all actor salaries will be paid on the back end after the sale of the movie. No travel expenses can be paid at this time. If travel expenses become available, they will be awarded according to the size of the part and / or status of the actor. If investment does increase, some private deals may be made with some actors for pay and travel expenses.
We are currently seeking sponsorship from police departments, hospitals, clinics, churches, women's help organizations, human rights organizations, anti-human trafficking organizations, pro-family organizations and private business owners.
