The Chagford Filmmaking Group are auditioning for the lead roles in a 52 minute film Sir Lanval. It’s a 12th century fairytale about a handsome young knight who falls in love with a fairy.

Venue: London Bubble Theatre Company, 5 Elephant Lane, London, SE16 4JD
The Roles:
Sir Lanval: lead role – a young knight, playing age 20, French accent preferred but not essential, needs to move well and have a certain aura of innocence and beauty (sufficient to attract a fairy!)

King Arthur: playing age 40, minimum height 5 ft 10.
Fee £500.

Shooting dates May 16-30 with a four-day intensive rehearsal weekend April 23-26.
The budget for the film is around £20,000. The 58,000 euro award also covers a book, an exhibition, and the distribution of DVDs of the film to tourist centres across England and France.
