Second auditions to be held for 'Bodies of Water' by Adrina Knutson
August 25, 2016
A second round of auditions for parts in a short independent film, “Bodies of Water,”
will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 4-8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Complex.
The UAF Theatre and Film Department will produce the film this fall from a screenplay written
by UAF alumna Adrina Knutson. Assistant Professor Maya Salganek will direct.
“Bodies of Water” explores loss, grief, guilt and the confrontation of fear. The story
follows Leona, a young woman who fails to prevent the drowning death of her sister,
Willow. After running away from home, Leona is haunted by her developing fear of water.
She becomes involved with a vaudevillian performance troupe, through which she confronts
her darkest fears.
Knutson wrote the screenplay during her final semester at UAF. She was tragically
killed in a car accident in Tanzania while working on a film project in 2012. Faculty,
students, alumni and Adrina’s family are collaborating to produce the film in her
memory.
Actors interested in auditioning should register online for a time or sign up at the department offices in the Fine Arts Complex. Additional
information about the film can be found on the auditions website or by calling 907-474-6590.
Callbacks for auditions will take place on Sept. 1 from 6-9 p.m. in the Fine Arts
Complex.
