Acting

As part of my experimental no-budget short film I need to film a short bedroom scene where a young actress acts nude. She passionately kisses a male actor who is in the same bed with her, and also says several lines. No sexual activity other than kissing. The scene runs for about three minutes, total work time would be around four hours.

According to your experience, what would be a fair compensation for non-union experienced actress for this job?

Also if you are a young 23 to 25 y.o. actress (not looking 23-25 but being 23-25 y.o.) with similar experience, and you would like to play the role I mentioned above, please reply with your requirements, link to a head shot picture and acting resume. Also if you are open to play this role just for credits and a copy of the finished product, please feel free to mention that.

The film is being shot in Boston.

Thank you very much for your time.
Have a very happy Holidays!

Nude scenes

I think it really depends on the actress and their comfort level with the role and whether or not she is convinced it is essential that she is nude. I would suggest you scour Nextcat.com they have a lot of models/actresses with nude experience. I also just wanted to suggest that you shoot this scene first. I have run into cold feet after already shooting key scenes with an actress and in that situation if she backs out there isn't a lot you can do and it is too late to recast. That's why I shoot the scenes I may have issue with first. That way they cannot exert control over the outcome of your scene. Good luck.
