Cypress Moon Studios is looking for local talent.

Director, producer and screenplay writer Tonya S. Holly, who has a history in casting extras, said she is eager to see what the Black Belt has to offer.

“I am very excited about the possibility of shooting part of ‘The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde’ in Selma,” she said. “I worked as the extras casting director on ‘Blue Sky’ starring Jessica Lange and Tommy Lee Jones and I did the local and extras casting on ‘Body Snatchers’ which were both filmed in Selma. I grew to love the area and include it in my first feature film ‘When I Find the Ocean.”

Men women and children 10 and older are invited to stop by The Hampton Inn at 2200 W. Highland Ave. in Selma May 26 between 4 and 7 p.m. for their chance to be chosen for an extra role in the film.

All interested parties are asked to bring a photo, contact information and a resume.

People who are not available to attend may mail their information to Cypress Moon Studios at 1000 Alabama Ave., Sheffield, Al., 35660.

The film, which is in preproduction, will be shot in parts of Louisiana, Alabama and Missouri. They are also considering sites in Orrville, Selma and Maplesville.
