About the project:
"Up Close" is a horror-drama short film about Isa, a young woman who has recently lost someone close to her. As she tries to come to terms with this loss and move on, she becomes increasingly embroiled in an internal struggle with herself - and with the question of what it really means to let go.
The story is told from a subjective perspective and stylistically draws on both body horror (e.g. The Substance or The Fly) as well as surreal, nightmarish imagery familiar from giallo cinema (e.g. Suspirira by Dario Argento).
Further information on the shoot:
The short film has a planned running time of 7-8 minutes and will be shot on a weekend at the end of September to mid-October this year in the NRW area.
As already mentioned at the beginning, this project is a no-budget production by a young crew, which I, the director and author, am financing from my own resources as a project close to my heart, so we have no funds at our disposal. Nevertheless, I would be happy to reimburse travel expenses for the crew and cast and of course provide meals on set.

Since the film has no dialog, we are looking for an actress who ideally already has experience with emotional, intense scenes.
You should enjoy dealing with a role and conveying psychological depth through gestures, facial expressions and body work.
We look forward to working with a talented actress and creating a product that everyone involved is satisfied with.
