A non-profit organisation in Oldham is holding open auditions for a short film set to be made in the borough.

Hack Oldham, which operates out of a multi-use space on Yorkshire Street in the town centre, runs a number of groups including acting and filmmaking workshops.

In February, Hack screened its production of short film based on a Stephen King story and entered it into a number of film festivals.

Now, the social enterprise is making another short film and is looking for people over the age of 18 and of any level of experience to audition for roles.

According to a post on Hack's social media, the actors are welcome to come and audition for a production called Knit One, Purl One, which is short comedy about "jealousy, revenge, pride and crochet".

Auditions are being held at Hack's base at 38-44 Yorkshire Street, OL1 1SE, between 7pm and 9pm on Thursday, April 18.

Actors are not required to prepare any materials as the audition will consist of improvisation.

For many involved in the production of Stationary Bike, based on the Stephen King story of the same name, it was their first involvement in a film production.

Eric Steele, director at Hack Oldham, said at the time the short film was screened: He said: "For some of cast crew, it was the first time they've been in a production and they've not got their first industry credit on IMDB."

He added that for the next production, Hack would be looking to "get as many people involved as we can in any way".
