We are still looking for some daytime roles for the short film, broken down below (the playing ages are only guidelines):
SIMON (18M):
Daytime role, 1 script page playing part
She is close to the protagonist Lisa. Can confide everything to each other without the air between them getting weird. Maintains a non-chalant facade, but starts to sweat when questioned. Only wants the best for the protagonist and therefore doesn't have a neutral view.
BIBLIOTHEKAR/IN (30+, W/M/D)
Daily role, 1 script page game share
Hates his/her job. Constantly on his/her cell phone. Is slow at work, but gets the tasks done. Started a job at the library because he/she loves reading books. But quickly realizes that as a librarian you don't read too much and therefore plays solitaire on his/her cell phone.
SOME WOMAN (20W):
Daily scroll, 0.5 script page game share
Some woman sees the protagonist outside the library, drenched in sweat and beating herself. Cautiously, the woman asks if everything is alright with her. She gets no meaningful answer. Some woman falls into a slight panic herself, she has never experienced a situation like this before. She summons up all her courage and confronts the protagonist once more. But she disappears and some woman is left alone in front of the library, frightened and confused.
