Seeking Portuguese speaking actors for “My Jongo”
WEWE Productions is casting for “My Jongo”, a low budget short film to be shot in HD 24p. Seeking PORTUGUESE speaking actors.
Niara is a Brazilian immigrant who is struggling with the loss of her parents and trying to maintain the cultural identity alive within her small family of women. The family is of a long line of Jongo dancers who practice this unique form of dance and music in a community of people they have created around their Jongo Center (their house). But Niara now refuses to dance, and the family is in danger of falling apart.
