Hello everyone. This is a casting call for a poetry read. The finished recording will be used on a kinetic typography video for the poem. 'Stars Confined' is a poem by Brazilian poet Henrique Costa. I've worked with Henrique many times on multiple projects and we've had some small success at festivals and with press.

We're not looking for a big Shakespearian sort of read. Take your time. We're looking for a soft, gentle read. The film will sit against ambient music.
Stars thrashing in the night’s tar pits stuttered
black hole words we heard in half-forgotten dream
from which we never woke; sad morning beamed
us up through cracks in the unhinged shutter.
Did the wee hours of the unslept night utter
tick tock chirps to drown our stifled screams?
