Job description

We are looking for actors for our comedy short film "The Film that went wrong: Murder at Wetherby Manor" (working title). A chaotic, self-deprecating murder-mystery in which everything goes wrong.

"The Film that goes wrong" is a comedy short film that pokes fun at movie making itself. Each character is played by an actor who is deliberately bad, exaggerated or simply embarrassing. The punchline: everything that happens goes spectacularly wrong; from forgotten lines to acting exaggerations to physical mishaps. The film thrives on the actors playing their roles and their own "acting foibles" with humor and creativity.

You slip into the role of a stereotypical murder-mystery character and at the same time into the skin of an actor who messes up the role spectacularly. How you go about it

is up to you: Some ideas are already noted in the script, but there is still room for your own ideas. The main thing is that it's funny and exaggerated!

How to apply:

  • Shoot a short video (max. 2 minutes) with your interpretation of the role (including "acting mishaps", see role description).

  • Include your name, height, place of residence and the desired role.

  • Send the video by Friday, May 31

  • Applications WITHOUT VIDEO CANNOT BE CONSIDERED

The shoot is expected to take place at the beginning of June. A filming location is currently being determined, more information on this as soon as possible. The film will be shot and filmed in English.
