Actor (m/d) as "Markus" for a historical student graduation film

We are looking for an actor who would like to play the character "Markus" for our graduation film (approx. 25min) of the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences. It is a historical short film based on a true story.

Our film "Wind from the West" tells the story of Wolfgang, an apprentice baker living in the GDR in 1957. Feeling politically and professionally constrained, he makes the courageous decision to leave his homeland and ride his motorcycle alone across the border to the West to build a new life there. He leaves his family and girlfriend behind. On his journey, he has to keep finding the courage to ride on. 

As this is a student production, we are unfortunately unable to pay a fee. However, accommodation, travel expenses and meals on set will of course be covered by us. We are therefore particularly happy to receive applications from actors from the Rhine-Main area.

We are very happy to receive applications with a current photo, references and, if available, a showreel.

The role of "Markus" is a small but important supporting role. Markus is an amateur mechanic and repairs Wolfgang's motorcycle on the trip after it breaks down. He is warm-hearted and open.

Handicraft knowledge is not required.
