CALIFORNIA-Rene Haynes of Rene Haynes Casting of Burbank, California is on the search for a talented young woman to play the lead in a major motion picture.

Although she couldn't get into much detail about the film at this time, she could say she is conducting the talent search across North America and will be traveling to cities in Canada soon to meet with hopefuls.

Haynes was the casting director for such films as Skins, Dreamkeeper and Coyote Waits; she brought Adam Beach to Disney for his role in Squanto: A Warrior's Tale. She is looking for an Aboriginal woman age 16 to 22 who looks "traditional," youthful and has a natural appearance and athletic physique for what she described as a remarkable role.

Haynes says acting experience is a plus, but not necessary, so she encourages all young women to apply. Deadline for applications is Dec. 20.

For information e-mail Haynes at talent@rhcasting.com or send a current photo with your contact information to Rene Haynes Casting, 1314 Scott Rd., Burbank CA 91504.
