Four Atlanta area actors have been chosen for David Rosinger’s film The Trap. The Exhibition Pictures’ short narrative follows the attempt of two young con artists, Jerry and Anna, to perpetrate a scam on elderly couple Fred and Mildred.

The distinguished actress and director Betty Mitchell will play Mildred. Ms. Mitchell has appeared as Lady Markby in the Lyceum Project’s An Ideal Husband; as Roberta Burke in the Essential Theatre’s Evelyn in Purgatory; as Mama Wheelis in Onstage Atlanta’s Daddy’s Dyin . . .; and most recently as Nat in Newnan Theatre’s Rabbit Hole.

Cast as Fred is Lee Buechele, familiar to many theatre audiences for his work as Ben Hubbard in Main Street Players’ Little Foxes; as Dr. Larch in Oglethorpe  University Theatre’s The Cider House Rules; as Greg in Onstage Atlanta’s Sylvia; and as Mr. Goodfellow in Georgia Ensemble Theatre’s Inherit the Wind.

Lauren Boyd, who will play Anna, holds an MFA in Acting from the New School for Drama. On film she has appeared as Suzy Hazelwood in Delusions of Guinevere; as Polly in The Brazilian; and as Jennifer in the TV series School Spirits.

In the role of Jerry is Borge Etienne, whose film credits include Roland in My Brother’s Keeper; Mr. Franklin in Starry Nights and Roller Blades; and Rufus in the upcoming Shy’s Way. On stage he played Pervis in Black Man-O-Logues.

Camera and sound will be handled by Thomas Donaldson, who is completing the Broadcast Video Production pathway at Rockdale Career Academy and who is the recipient of several awards, including “Best Picture” at the 2012 Summer Academy at UGA Digital Film School.

Writer-director David Rosinger is responsible for the 2012 documentary The Castle on Peachtree Street, a history of Rhodes Hall in Atlanta.

Principal photography on The Trap begins in June.
