The Trap to film in Decatur, GA

David Rosinger’s short narrative The Trap is slated to film in Decatur, June 10-13. The story follows two young con artists as they attempt to scam an elderly couple. Writer-director Rosinger describes the plot as “part Poe, part Brothers Grimm.” Four actors will be cast in the film.

Open call auditions will be held Tuesday, April 2, 7-9 pm at the Dorsey Theatre, 3593 Clairmont Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30319. (Driving directions here.) Auditions will be a cold reading and no appointment is needed.

“All four parts are principal roles,” Rosinger said. “I’m looking for talent with experience in either theater or film.”
