Is there a difference between a casting call and an audition?

Is this a real/legitimate casting call for acting?

Good luck! Danielle Rudess SEEKING A 16 - 18 YEAR OLD GIRL TO STAR IN A FEATURE FILM! "GIMME SHELTER" Directed by Ron Krauss Casting by Suzanne Smith Crowley and Jessica Kelly Starts shooting April 2011 AGNES "APPLE" BAILEY CAUCASIAN, FEMALE, 16 to 18 years old. This streetwise sixteen-year-old girl who calls herself Apple has never had an easy life. Her mother is a junkie and a prostitute, is verbally and physically abusive, and is grooming her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Apple knows the streets, alleys and motels like the back of her hand. But Apple wants more from her life, and possesses a tenacious, tough, indomitable spirit, and will not surrender to fate. She runs away from her mother and tracks down the father she has never known (who was only 19 himself when he got Apple's mother pregnant) and begs him for help while she tries to stand on her own two feet. In the few days under her father's care she learns she is pregnant, the father a kid from the streets she met on the train one day who wants nothing to do with her. Apple runs away again, almost gets herself killed, and is taken under the wing of Father McCarthy, the chaplain of the local hospital. He finds and offers her a place to stay at a shelter for pregnant young women run by a spiritual woman named Kathy. It is there that Apple begins to tentatively interact with the other girls who are in the same boat with her, and gradually begins to make a family for herself.

  You don't pay for an audition.The only thing you might pay for is a nice photo,the description is ok but do not pay for anything if they ask you too,ask why.
