Actress (f/d) as "Elise" for a historical student graduation film

We are looking for a committed actress who would like to play the character "Elise" 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 his girlfriend Rosemarie 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 pleased to receive applications from actresses from the Zwickau or Saxony area.

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

Wolfgang's mother works in the bakery store and is caring, warm-hearted and family-oriented. She embodies closeness, everyday life and the home that Wolfgang leaves behind with his departure. She knows nothing of his plan to leave the GDR. This is precisely why she has an unconscious lightness about her.

What she is particularly looking for:

• Warm and natural charisma
