**CASTING COMPLETE**

Arvold Casting is again collaborating with the Virginia Film Festival for the 2017 Adrenaline Film Project! Adrenaline is a competition that challenges teams of filmmakers to write, cast, shoot, and edit a short film in just 72 hours. Each team will be guided by professional Hollywood mentors. Actors will be important creative contributors to each team’s project and will be eligible to win the BEST ACTOR AWARD, which for the first time this year will be accompanied by a CASH PRIZE! Final films will be screened in front of a live audience at Charlottesville’s Paramount Theater.

This year, the Adrenaline Film Project will take place three weeks prior to the Virginia Film Festival, allowing actors and filmmakers to both participate in Adrenaline and enjoy the Virginia Film Festival’s programming!
