Actor & actress (f/d) for the student short film "Casper"
Our short film "Casper" is currently in the casting phase for the main roles: Casper (23) and Zoe (40). The shoot will last 3 days and will take place in Berlin between 01.11.25 - 05.11.25. The team consists of alumni from the London Film School and the SAE Institute in Berlin.
As this is a low budget passion project, we can only offer a small daily fee. However, catering costs will be covered.
Logline:
A lonely young man tracks down his birth mother in the hope of finding a connection. But when she mistakes him for someone else, he assumes the wrong identity - and begins a fragile relationship based on a lie that can't last forever.
Theme:
The urge to belong and the deep fear of denial.
Contact: Theodor
Casper (playing age 23):
An existentialist drifter in search of meaning or a sense of belonging. He encounters life with playful, indifferent ease in order to cope. He has tracked down his birth mother's address in the hope of finding a sense of belonging with her. But his subconscious fear of rejection runs so deep that it seems impossible for him to actually reveal himself to her.
Zoe (playing age 40):
An articulate and desperate artist. She lives with a reclusive roommate and works as a dance teacher to make ends meet. A very proud, stubborn and strong personality, but marked by the suppressed guilt of having once given Casper away. She is quite lonely and, like Casper, has a sarcastic and indifferent attitude towards life.
