Actresses (f/d) for the queer student short film "What we see when we close our eyes"
Second year film FilmArche, shooting is scheduled for early September, 3-5 shooting days
This is what it's about:
In the midst of the vibrant city of Berlin, 25-year-old queer Ela fights for her moments of happiness and being in love - but between everyday sexism, homophobia and constantly crossing boundaries, she has to learn that self-protection is sometimes more important than resistance. A sensitive portrait of self-assertion, vulnerability and daily navigation through a world that is nowhere near as open as it seems.
When: Preproduction starts in August, shooting period early September, approx. 3-5 shooting days
Where: Berlin
As it is a FilmArche film and I have no budget, it is unfortunately unpaid.
I am mainly looking for queer people. If you are interested and want to hear more about the project, email me. :)

ELA, is a Berlin queer girl in her mid-20s who juggles between highs and lows while trying not to lose the light. Ela has understood that even Berlin is not the perfect city and that it is not always open, free and individual. At the same time, it is a balancing act between moments when she would prefer to make herself invisible and those when she is courageous and stands up for herself.
LILLI is in her mid-20s and moved to Berlin a few years ago. She still sees Berlin as this magical place where everything is possible, where everyone has a place and can be free. She lives more in the moment and less in her head. Lilli doesn't let things get too close to her and tries to see the positive in everything.
