They are looking ofr Adults of all ages and types. They are also seeking Men and Women with Boston Accents to represent Neighborhood people, Bad guys, Cops, Men with military experience, Wives, Girlfriends, Mothers, Women with dancing experience, etc. Good Luck!
UPDATE: I just received this Q & A re: the casting call:
[1] SHOULD I BRING A PHOTO/HEADSHOT/RESUME TO THE CASTING CALL?
We will take a photo there, but it’s always a good idea to bring a recent photo — and it should go without saying that if you are an actor you should bring your headshot AND resume to any and every casting call/audition.
[2] IS THIS CALL JUST FOR EXTRA WORK?
No, this call is for speaking roles, special bits, AND extra work.
[3] WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THIS CASTING CALL? SHOULD I PREPARE ANYTHING?
You don’t need to prepare anything. Some people may be given a line or 2 to read.
[4] ARE YOU *ONLY* LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH BOSTON ACCENTS?
No, you can attend even if you don’t have a Boston accent.
[5] CAN MY KIDS COME? WHAT IF I’M 17? IS IT REALLY 18+?
It’s REALLY 18+, only adults age 18 years and older as of Sept. 1 should attend.
[6] IS THIS UNION OR NON-UNION?
ALL (18+) are welcome. Current paid up SAG/AFTRA members may come to the front of the line to find out where to go and how to register.
[7] WHEN DOES THIS SHOOT? NIGHTS? WEEKENDS?
The move shoots starting in Sept. until Thanksgiving. Most movies shoot Monday thru Friday during the day when daytime scense are filmed and at night when night scenes are filmed. Sometimes they shoot on a weekend.
[8] I CAN’T MAKE IT FRIDAY, WHAT DO I DO?

I’ve been bartending at Sullivan’s Pub, in Charlestown, Thursdays and Fridays for one year this August 09. I grew up just forty miles south of Boston, was in the military for 8 years, lived on the Cape for 10 years, and have resided in Boston for the past 5 years.
If I can be of any asset with the film, call or shoot me an email.
