Leading role (f/d) as "baker" for a student thriller short film

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 Baker:

We are looking for an older woman who can switch effortlessly between seeming harmlessness and profound menace. Initially, the baker should appear to be an amiable chatterbox with great curiosity - a woman who is not suspected of any malicious intent. But behind this façade lies a highly manipulative, merciless and observant personality with psychopathic traits. She observes closely, plans strategically and does not shy away from extreme means to keep her secrets.
