Supporting actor (m/d) as "Lecturer" for the Bachelor graduation film "Neben der Welt (AT)"

We are looking for an actor for the role of the lecturer as part of the Bachelor of Film Production program.

The topic of grief is a universal, but at the same time very individual experience. Some deal with it, others try to avoid it or suppress it. The film takes up this theme. It is a movie for people who have gone through similar experiences, who can identify with the protagonist and thus feel seen and heard.

Plot
Mara, a young woman, loses herself more and more in her created dream world in order to escape reality and the death of her best friend Timo, until it catches up with her in her dreams and she has to face the truth.

Premise
Grief processing is a long and hard process. Repression only protects in the short term, but prevents long-term healing and closure.

Director: Erik James Egler
Casting contact: Anastasiia

Professor Meier is Mara's lecturer. He was aware of Timo's death and made an exception with Mara so that she has more time for assignments and can contact him if she wants to take a semester break to deal with the loss. He is someone who demands performance, but is not ruthless. He only gets angry if you don't stick to agreements.
