Actress (f/d) as "Clara" for a student short film

The lead role of CLARA has been cast for an artistic short film project with the character of a music video (music video on 16 mm film). The film is a quiet, visually narrated character study about withdrawal, self-awareness and slowly rediscovering one's own impulses. The narrative has little dialog and works strongly with the body, glances and pauses.

The project combines personal experience with a fictional level. The handling of sensitive topics is respectful and clearly agreed. Filming takes place in indoor and outdoor spaces (including indoor swimming pools, living spaces, gardens, nature).
