Actress (f/d) as "Sandra" for the student short film "Fallobst (AT)"

Fallobst (AT) -  Project description

Format: Short film
Duration:  4-10 minutes
Genre: Black comedy / tragicomedy
Language: German
Location: Forest / Outside & Inside (apartment)

After receiving an anonymous tip, two investigators come across a body dumped in the forest - wrapped in garbage bags and accompanied by a bite of avocado bread. The scene looks less like a crime scene and more like a leftover moment of a plan that was never fully thought through.

While they document the find, the two try to form a picture of what might have happened - without blood, without a perpetrator, but with many questions. It's not a classic crime thriller. Rather, it is about what happens between the investigations: Glances, thoughts, pauses - and a lot of dry, macabre humor.

The film is loosely based on a previously made short film called Avocado Bread, in which two overwhelmed men try to hide a corpse in the woods after a tragicomic incident - and fail miserably.

This predecessor was also a black humorous short film that worked with reduced means, laconic dialogue and absurd situation comedy. The new project takes up the same world again, but looks at it from a different angle: from the point of view of the investigators, who are confronted with the traces of this event - without knowing what really happened. Instead of continuing the story, the new film opens up a narrative side path in the same universe - while remaining true to the tone and spirit of Avocado Bread.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a fee due to the budget. In addition to young committed film lovers, we look forward to spending time together

SANDRA - Role description

Gender: female
Age: approx. 28 - 45 years
Type: alert, down-to-earth, reflective
Style: observant, clever, with a fine sense of humor

Description:
Sandra is an investigator - and at the same time someone who likes to stop and take a look in the fog of everyday life. Her strength lies in listening, in commenting between the lines. She is not loud, not cool - but someone who makes her presence felt with calm. She moves confidently between professional routine and genuine curiosity about people. A quiet tension arises in her dialogue with Andreas - characterized by small frictions, respect and a sense of humour that oscillates between irony and empathy.

Playing challenge:
The character thrives on fine timing, emotional credibility and a sense of inner movement. Ideal for actors who can form strong characters without loud gestures and can tell nuances.
