For our 10-minute thriller short film (Bachelor graduation project), we are looking for committed actors and actresses who would like to immerse themselves in the dark machinations of a 'problematic' police matter.
Logline:
In an idyllic small-town bakery with a dark secret, two corrupt police officers who want to destroy evidence of a murder get caught up in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the seemingly harmless but actually psychopathic baker.
Title: Treats
We present a dark and intriguing chamber play that simmers beneath the peaceful surface of a small bakery. After a brutal crime during the night, two corrupt police officers visit this inconspicuous place in the early morning to destroy incriminating surveillance footage. There they meet the initially amiable and curious baker, whose famous pastries conceal a terrible family tradition. They have no idea that the baker's friendly façade is deceptive. What begins as a seemingly harmless interrogation escalates into a nerve-wracking confrontation in which the masks fall and bourgeois conventions give way to a cruel truth - with deadly consequences.

The Policewoman:
We are looking for an actress who can show the crumbling professionalism of a policewoman whose drug addiction has already taken a firm grip on her life and finances. She tolerated her partner's corruption for a long time until she finally became part of it herself. She is a fighter - tenacious, unscrupulous and stubborn. However, beneath the surface of her professional façade lies an increasing inner turmoil that manifests itself in latent nervousness.
