A CALL out for indigenous actors for roles in a family television show and for a movie being filmed in the Proserpine and Airlie Beach areas has brought an avalanche of inquiries to Queensland-based recruitment organisation Indigenous Workstars.
A Facebook post calling for indigenous actors went viral, according to Helen Zunker, indigenous recruiter for the Wide Bay Burnett region. “The response to our shout out for actors has been amazing. The community has really rallied behind it, and we have received expressions of interest from known and emerging actors, traditional dancers, performers, artists and more,” Ms Zunker said.
“I have really loved the positive feedback and excitement in the communities around this talent search.”
These included a role for a male in their 20’s for a family TV show which films in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and for numerous extras for a movie filming in the Proserpine and Airlie Beach areas.
“This is potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity for indigenous actors, but not the only opportunity on offer from Indigenous Workstars,” Ms Zunker said. “The organisation recruits across all industry sectors nationally, with large clients in the retail, banking and mining sectors also.”
The lead-up to the Olympics was already starting to present job opportunities with Indigenous Workstars partnering with government and tourism organisations on openings for cultural, creative and general event employment opportunities.
Anyone interested in acting roles or other cultural and creative roles should contact Helen direct via helen@workstars. com.au For more information or to register, go to www.workstars.com.au
