Job description
Urgent casting call: Actress for the role of "It" in our short film "Once Upon a Time" (SAE Institute, Leipzig). Filming will take place over two days: Wednesday, August 12, and Thursday, August 13, 2026. The locations are an apartment (living room/bathroom) and an outdoor scene in a meadow.
It is a faceless character, initially just a tattered gray rag, and later a mask. Speaks calmly in the subjunctive (“what if…”), becomes warmer as the story progresses, and ends on a somewhat melancholic note.
