Actor (m/d) for a student short feature film / graduation film
We are looking for an experienced actor who can portray a charismatic, controlled but manipulative psychotherapist. The character is a man whose work increasingly becomes obsessive research and who uses psychological techniques to manipulate his patients. The actor should be able to credibly portray complex inner conflicts between professional passion, moral ambivalence and dark obsession. Experience in the drama or thriller genre is an advantage.
