BREAKAWAY is an upcoming feature film from director Marcel Rasquin.
And he is looking for his lead actor.
The screenplay tells the story of Lorenzo
— 16-years-old / African-American —
who must enter America's gangland world of underground soccer "money games"
to save his brother.
Think ROCKY and FAST & FURIOUS
meets the beautiful game.
While most of the cast will be
experienced actors
the role of Lorenzo must go to someone
who can actually play.
Are you that player?
Our director previously worked with
players-turned-actors on his

Lorenzo 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 an incredible soccer 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.
FIRST VIDEO: show us 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.
SECOND VIDEO: 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?
