Director Jason Reitman of feature film hits JUNO & UP IN THE AIR is casting two kids as lead actors for his new film LABOR DAY

Okay Hollywood Moms, this is the casting call you’ve been waiting for.  Moms of girls in the 11-14 age group have noticed a slight slow down in casting calls of late and that’s about to change with this wonderful casting opp. Chrystie Street Casting is seeking a 10-14 YEAR OLD BOY & 10-14 YEAR OLD GIRL to star in the feature film “LABOR DAY” to be directed by the talented Jason Reitman (JUNO, YOUNG ADULT, UP IN THE AIR.)

Starts shooting June 2012 in Massachusetts

HENRY – 13 Years old (submit 10-14yrs), Caucasian Male – Henry is a true innocent. He has taken over the role of caretaker and protector to his fragile, reclusive mother Adele. He is an observant boy who understands his mother’s loneliness, but is too young to understand why he cannot entirely fill it. When a new man enters the picture, the friend-less Henry is both exhilarated by the relationship and threatened by the prospect that he is no longer needed by his mother. LEAD

ELEANOR – 14yrs, (submit 10-14 yrs) Caucasian. She is a skinny girl, a product of a broken home, she is newly moved from a big city to live with her father and already bored with the small town entertainments. An intelligent girl, Eleanor learned how to get what she wants with wit, calculations and her newly developed sexual awareness. To Henry she is the mysterious hot girl who seems to know everything about the world that he doesn’t. LEAD
