BREAKAWAY is an upcoming feature film from director Marcel Rasquin.
The screenplay tells the story of Lorenzo
— 17-years-old / African-American —
who must enter America's gangland world of underground soccer "money games"
to save his brother.
Think FAST & FURIOUS
meets the beautiful game.
While most of the cast will be
experienced actors

who can actually play.

Video Submissions
Over the course of the film, the character of Lorenzo is many things: honest, shy, violent, grieving, loyal, triumphant and in love.
He's also a helluva player.
Your video submissions are our opportunity to get to know you as a player and a person. YOU DO NOT NEED ANY ACTING EXPERIENCE TO LAND THIS ROLE!
The key to these videos? Be yourself. No fancy lighting. No dramatic readings. Be authentic. Show us who you are.
Your first video should show us that you can play.
This can be an existing highlight reel, or you showing off your skills, tricks out in the street. Make this good! Feel free to trim, edit. Total length 1 - 3 minutes.
Your second video should tell us a story.
Again, feel free to trim/edit or try a couple of takes, but most of all, we want you to be real. Total length 1 - 3 minutes. Please choose from one of the following:
Tell us about the first time you got into a fight. Set the scene! How did it happen? What was going through your head? How did it end up?
Tell us about a time you had to deal with adversity. Sometimes sh*t doesn't go your way. How did it feel? How did you find a way to move forward?
