CASTING CALL FOR INDEPENDENT FEATURE FILM!
MORNING MOON – Searching for her father, Selena finds a stranger instead—unearthing secrets, guilt, and unexpected bonds. Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Aaron Greer (Service to Man and Gettin' Grown), Morning Moon is scheduled to film in Madison, July 2026. This independent
feature centers around a recently orphaned 22-year-old who receives a mysterious lead on the father she never knew existed. Compelled to unravel the truth—if only to understand
her mother’s lifelong deception—she sets off on a search that takes her into an uncomfortable past and unfamiliar future. Part coming-of-age story, part dramedy, part mystery, Morning Moon explores issues around family, addiction, identity and love.
