Open Call for Background Performers for the film “Copperhead”

Friday, March 30th, 9:30 am – 6:30 pm, Kings Landing, Visitor’s Reception Centre

This American Civil War film takes place in a farming community in upstate New York. We will be shooting the film at Kings Landing Historical Settlement, NB, in May and June, 2012.

Seeking men, women and children who look like they are from that time and place – the 1860s. Traditional skills (horse riding, cheese making, folk dancing, etc.) not necessary but an asset.

ALL ARE WELCOME

A word from director/producer Ron Maxwell (“Gettysburg”, “Gods and Generals”):

“Copperhead is the story of Abner Beech, a stubborn and righteous farmer of Upstate New York , who defies his neighbors and his government in the bloody and contentious autumn of 1862.

“Copperhead is the great untold Civil War story. Far from the Virginia battlefields whose names etch North American history, the war of Copperhead visits the devastation and unimaginable loss of a civil war upon a family and a community whose strength and very existence are tested by fire, rope, knife, and betrayal. This is the Civil War come home.”

The screenplay is by Bill Kauffman, based on Harold Frederic’s acclaimed novel.
