We will be inviting unknown actresses or known actresses to post their casting videos through youtube so that our findingnina.com audience can vote on their favorite actresses.

Actresses who have uploaded their casting videos may vote for other actresses but not for themselves. The amount of voting per video is unlimited (no restrictions). If the voter wishes to make a comment on the score they have given a video – the comments must not offend or antagonize other voters or the potential actresses.

The first round of the casting call will stay open until September 2009. From the most voted actresses we will then make a shortlist of between 20 – 40 actresses. A panel of judges will be assembled to give feedback on this shortlist, and from there we will have our top 20 potential actresses. By October 2009 we will be asking the findingnina.com audience to vote on the final 20 choices so we can then cast NINA. If the schedule for the shortlist changes due to greater demand, we will post a notice up on the website.

Nina is a beautiful young girl in her early 20s. Her father is Almayer – a Dutch man living in Borneo in 1830s. Almayer is married to a local women of Batawi origin who is called Mem. Nina is sent to be educated in Singapore when she is 10 years old. She is tall, graceful, and charming.

We are looking for a young woman who is aged between 19 – 25 years old. Her appearance must be that of a young girl at the age of 21. Her skin is pale as she is of mixed-race – Western and Malay or Indo. The actress should be familiar with the Malay and/or Indo culture and speak English and Malaysian or Indonesian.

The motion picture is called Almayer’s Folly is an adaptation of a Joseph Conrad novel. It tells the epic story of Almayer, a Dutch trader struggling to survive in Borneo in the 1830s. His dream of finding a mythical gold mountain is challenged by his scheming wife, the colonial authorities, the political machinations of the local chief and Arab traders and his daughters love of a freedom fighting Malay prince.

Kuala Lumpur 11 December 2009

Hello Everyone,

We will be asking a shortlist of actors to come in to our office and
meet with our director over the next few weeks. We are sorry for the
lack of communication about the next phase of our casting process
recently. We have been very busy visiting the location and having
pre-production meetings ...and its now going to get even busier! But of
course the casting of our movie is incredibly important as well.

We really appreciate everyone's interest in our movie - and hope that a
lot of the actors who uploaded their videos will join us on the set in
either small roles or bigger roles... you never know!

So, do keep an eye on what we are doing, and stay tuned for the next
round of our casting process.

Very best wishes,
Findingnina.com Management Team!
