CASTING INFORMATION

Ori Nation is a long-term creative project that has been in development for over seven years and is scheduled to officially come to life in 2026.

All roles currently open for casting are supporting roles, performed alongside Ken Carlter, who holds the lead role in the film. The lead role is confirmed and not subject to auditions.

 

Ken Carlter is the creative force behind the project and the main character of the film. He is the first and only to this date Tahitian artist to receive a CNC Talent Award, one of France’s most prestigious creator's recognitions, awarded for his direction of "Heiva i Paris – The Ultimate Tahitian Dance Competition".


Ori Nation builds upon this artistic journey and marks a major milestone in bringing Tahitian dance to the international cinematic stage.

All selected performers — including supporting roles and background performers — will be professionally compensated based on U.S. union rates or the applicable union or industry standards of the country where each sequence is filmed.
