I am producing a short film with a length of 6min as part of my studies. The shooting period is 21-27.11.2025 in Leipzig. The applicant should be from Leipzig or the surrounding area as we cannot cover accommodation costs. The film is a drama-comedy and deals with the topic of the right to housing.
A brief summary of the film's content:
Synopsis
A woman of retirement age, who is politically left-wing, receives a notice that her house has been sold to the Vonovia real estate group and that rents are now set to rise. As a protest against this, she and her friends spray-paint something against the company on a house wall. She later discusses this injustice with her friends at a city bingo evening. The women are angry about the events and plan an uprising against Vonovia.
But when Ms. Kasper later tries to calm down in her apartment, her doorbell rings. A man in a suit stands in front of her and offers her a deal. He would leave all the residents of the building alone and drop the rent increase if she gave him her soul in return.
Because Mrs. Kasper doesn't just give in, she involves the devil in three tasks that he has to complete before he can have her soul. When the devil fails the last task, Mrs. Kasper wins and the whole house is spared the rent increase. However, the devil has to paint over the graffiti as punishment

The main character, Mrs. Kasper, is a politically left-motivated woman of retirement age who has a sense of justice and stands up for it. She is a trade unionist and has a snotty, sassy and confident demeanor.
It is important that you can play this character, even if you don't quite agree with the values. Please note the importance of location. As I am a student myself, I cannot cover accommodation costs.
The project is unfortunately unpaid, but offers the opportunity to be included in the portfolio. Catering will of course also be provided on set.
