The Colorado Film School is looking for actors to star in student films, shorts and other projects during the 2011-12 school year.

The film school, based on the former Lowry Air Force base, will hold auditions from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 10 and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 11 at its Denver campus, 9075 E. Lowry Blvd, Bldg. 965. The school is seeking actors and actresses of all ages and backgrounds. Certain roles may be paid.

Actors should prepare a two- to three-minute monologue and bring printed copies of a personal photo or headshot. Applicants are also expected to send a copy of their photos to auditions@coloradofilmschool.net to be included in the school’s database.

Actors can sign up for an audition slot at coloradofilmschool.net/my/auditions.html.

In its academic programs through the Community College of Aurora and Regis University, CFS offers associate and bachelor’s degrees in writing/directing, writing/producing, cinematography/videography, post production and acting for the screen, as well as a one-year advanced immersion program. While the school is wholly owned by CCA, a current agreement with Regis University allows students to pursue bachelor of fine arts degrees after three years of enrollment through CCA.

The school employs about 25 full-time faculty members and enrolls approximately 400 students, who produce an average of 1,000 films a year.
