If you’re Indigenous, and you have the acting bug, there is big casting call going on right now.

TNRD Film Commission, Vicki Weller, says Bones of Crows will be shot in the Kamloops area. She tells NL News it is a major production, one that is based on a true story.

“It’s a CBC mini series. It is five parts and it’s a drama seen through the eyes of a Cree matriarch as she survives the the residential school system and becomes a Cree code talker during World War II,” Weller said, on the NL Morning News.

“There are 170 speaking roles and there’s also a need for background performers of all ages because it does go back 150 years of residential schools and the history and it touches on that as well.”

The casting call goes Wednesday and Thursday at the Plaza hotel, from noon until 8 p.m.

“It really is a big swath of people that are needed to depict what this story is all about,” she added. “They need children, teens and elders so it’s pretty exciting.”
