CAST & CREW CALL – "Love You Bye"

Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce I am stepping into my first narrative film project, "Love You Bye." I’ve been making documentary films for years including my recent feature documentary “the end of boyhood” https://youtu.be/mWyqJx8Kb8Y

But decided it's time to finally try something new! This new project is super personal to me and I’m looking for passionate cast and crew to help bring it to life!

What’s the film about?

"Love You Bye" is a coming-of-age story set in rural Oklahoma. It follows Carter, an 18-year-old skater from Austin, Texas, who moves to a small town to live with his grandmother. Struggling to fit in, he feels like an outsider, but soon forms unexpected friendships with a group of wild yet warm-hearted country kids. As Carter navigates these new relationships, he also faces his own insecurities, trying to figure out where he truly belongs.

The narrative is loosely based on a documentary I made called "An Oklahoma Summer". https://youtu.be/YFNAAew3BLk

What am I looking for?

I’m looking for anyone who’s interested in helping out, whether it’s acting, providing locations, handling props, assisting with filming, or even helping with food. It’s going to take a team to bring this project to life, and I’m grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you!

I’m specifically looking to cast southern-looking guys and girls to play the “truck kids” and other small-town characters that make up this world.

This is a non-paid passion project for now. We’ll be shooting in Late Fall 2024. Once cast and crew are locked in, we’ll launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds. Everyone will receive proper credit and a copy of the film.

Auditions will be happening soon. If you’re interested, email your headshots or any questions to [email protected]

Let’s make a real movie together!
