Golden Brothers Studios in Kissimmee to Host Open Casting Call Starting Feb. 26 for Orlando-Area Feature Film
ORLANDO - Golden Brothers Studios, a Kissimmee based production company and film studio, will host a series of open casting calls for 365 Decision Time, a feature-length family drama set for production in the Orlando area later this year.
Golden Brothers producers Giovanni Reyes and Benjamin Guadalupe said Ariel Santiago will direct the film and award-winning cinematographer Jose Zambrano Cassela (Second Coming, The Sacred, The Tenant) will film the story of a typical middle-class American family that confronts dramatic real-world issues that threaten to break them apart.
“Divorce, a middle child accused of murder, the youngest one facing a decision of abortion and the adultery of the oldest are among the challenges that will attempt to destroy the unity of this family,” Reyes said. “These individual situations will lead to hard decisions that will change their lives.”
Cast auditions will be held at Golden Brothers Studios on the fourth floor at 111 E. Monument Ave. in Kissimmee.
Visit www.365decisiontime.com, telephone 407-558-5783 or email talent@goldenbrothersstudios.com for registration information, casting locations, dates and guidelines.

ORLANDO – The public is invited to attend an open house of the recently expanded University of Central Florida Business Incubator-Orlando Thursday, Feb. 18 at 3218 E. Colonial Drive.
The festivities, which are scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m., will include welcome speeches by Dr. Thomas O’Neal, UCF Associate Vice President for Research and Commercialization and executive director of the Business Incubation Program, and by Tony Ortiz, Orlando City Commissioner for District 2.
The open house also will feature self-guided tours of the 6,400 square-foot facility, as well as finger foods and beverages.
The incubator – a partnership between the City of Orlando and the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program – opened on Colonial Drive nearly two years ago in a 2,400 square foot office across from Fashion Square Mall with plans to expand into a neighboring office with nearly 4,000 additional square feet, according to Site Manager Melissa Wasserman.
The expansion offers dramatically more common space for clients to meet with business associates including a training room equipped with the latest AV technology and work stations with wireless internet access.
“We are very proud of the quality of our new clients and the functionality of our newly expanded space,” Wasserman said. “We are eager to welcome the local community to see how the partnership between UCF and Orlando is growing.”
The center’s established residents – OC Grant Consulting Associates, SeaQuarius, Social Security Advocates and Therigy – recently were joined by Brand Advance, Eginity, Excelsior Communications Services Inc., MTK Sports Training, InBusiness Inc., Learn to Learn, MyDocHub, Perceptive Technologies and VideoProof, some of who recently moved in from other UCF incubator locations.
The Orlando incubator is one of six such facilities in the university’s Business Incubation Program. Others are in East Orange County near UCF, and in Seminole and Lake Counties.
The UCF Business Incubation Program serves nearly 80 full-time client companies and provides a wide range of services, including business mentors, educational classes, affordable office space, as well as access to a receptionist, a site manager, and necessary business equipment like multi-line phones, FAX and high-speed Internet.
