Public Enemies - a Universal Pictures feature film starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale will be shooting in Chicago starting in mid-March. I don't know what roles they still need cast, but studios often fill some of the smaller roles with local talent.

The casting director for the film is:
Avy Kaufman Casting
(212) 620-4256
180 Varick St,
New York, NY 10014+4606

I don't know what local casting director is handling the Chicago casting. You could either send your picture and resume to Avy Kaufman - or your best bet is to dig around and see who locally is handling the casting for the film.

There is a Film Meetup group in Chicago and one of the things they're going to discuss is whether you got an audition for Public Enemies and if not - why not. Someone there will probably know who is doing the local casting. They also seem to know about the indy film scene in Chicago.

See if your parents will take you. I bet you could gain some valuable information from them.

It's free to sign up - but you have to be 18 to sign up, so you will need your parents help with this.

Always be cautious when answering audition notices:

(looking for young actors for this film. Even though you're kind of between the ages they're looking for, I think you should contact them anyway - if you're interested.)

It's not film, but this could be pretty interesting:

(can you play slightly younger? they are looking for kids for this project, this sounds like a good opportunity if you're not too tall and can play a little younger.)

I hope this is enough to get you started.

As for advice... there is just a sea of advice I could give you, but without knowing specifically what you're looking for, it's hard to know where to begin.
