Feature film set in Milwaukee is looking for actors (no experience needed)

Cannes Award winning director Kirill Mikhanovsky - whose film DUBROVSKY opened on 900 screens in Russia last year - and American playwright Alice Austen - whose recent adaptation of Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM opened this fall at the Steppenwolf Theatre to rave reviews, sold out houses and extended commercial run – have teamed up to write and produce GIVE ME LIBERTY, an irreverent feature-length dark comedy about the elusive American Dream and the wild mix of characters frantically chasing it.  

GIVE ME LIBERTY has already been recognized as an irreverent, raw, cutting edge story about the comedy and heartbreak of being an immigrant in a struggling American city and a wild mix of characters frantically chasing the elusive American Dream. GIVE ME LIBERTY has been compared by film industry executives to such blockbusters as FARGO, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and PULP FICTION. Benh Zeitlin, who directed the Oscar-nominated and Cannes Award winning BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, wrote that the script “rocked his world” and made him want to run out and shoot a film. Dick Blau founder of the UWM Film School wrote, “The script is wildly inventive, uproariously funny, and completely, sweetly irreverent in all respects, crossing cultures, not to speak of red lines, with complete, infectious abandon. If you like your films tart, you’ll want to help get this one made.”
