A movie filming in Covington is looking for actors.

Film Cincinnati, in partnership with New Media and director Shal Ngo, announced casting is now open for a feature film, “Control Freak,” scheduled to start production this winter in Covington and surrounding areas.

The producers are looking for actors to fill three principal roles, as well as 79 background actors. Principal roles include “The Sanshi,” a costumed demon; Aunt Thuy, a Vietnamese woman in their 50s; and “Sang,” a Vietnamese man in their mid-60s. 

The production will also cast two stand-ins for the principals.

Filming dates are tentatively scheduled for mid-February and run for about a month.

Principal actors should email casting director Abigail Esmena at abi@auditionroom513.com with their name, role interested in, and height. Background actors should apply here.
