Student Accomplice – is the latest in the line of BYU Animated Short films. The story centers around LETTY, a 16-year-old girl, who while taking her driver’s license exam is carjacked by a bank robber and forced to be the get-away driver.
As per most of our films the dialog is minimal, but it will have a huge impact on the film. We ask that actors record themselves and upload their recording with a resume that has all their contact information to:
