An independent feature film shooting in the Bahamas in early 2026 is now casting actors from both the United States and the Bahamas.
While the day rates are modest, travel is paid, and the shoot runs for several weeks in a stunning island location – a great opportunity to gain film credits and experience on an international project.
All talent must have a valid passport (or be in the process of getting one in time for January).
