Actress (f/d) as "Penelope Hardwick" for a comedic student film

We are looking for actors for our comedy short film "Detective Finch and the Wetherby Murder - Hour of the Knife". A chaotic, self-deprecating murder-mystery in which everything goes wrong.

"Detective Finch and the Wetherby Murder - Hour of the Knife" 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 just plain 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 this role magnificently.

How to apply:

• Shoot a short video 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 May 31

The film will be shot and filmed in English. Accents or dialects are no problem.

Penelope Hardwick - the sad daughter

Stereotype: The sad, "gray mouse" who is extremely affected by the death of her mother

Quirks: Penelope's actress is monotone and bored. She completely freezes in front of the camera and looks straight into the lens. She has no sense of acting and no chemistry with other actors.

Monologue:
I just can't believe someone would kill mother. I can't believe she's truly dead. This is a nightmare. I was practising (reading from her hand) the violin. I didn't care about the money. Edmund and I have all we need. We have each other.
