Casting Call: SAIT Productions

Hello, I'm casting for a SAIT 5 Minute Drama, it's unpaid & non-union.
I am wondering if you could send this call out to any interested actors you may have. We're asking for a headshot & resume to be sent to cassgayowski@gmail.com by November 23rd. Any questions can also be directed to that email as well.

FACES is about Jamie, a trans teenager who is outed to their parents by a teacher due to the Education Amendment Act.

Casting for:
MOTHER (female, 40s-50s, Caucasian) Quiet, concerned, at a loss.
JAMIE (gender non-conforming, 16-22 to play 16, Caucasian) Overwhelmed, anxious.

Content warning: depictions of body horror.

Shooting Dates: Nov 26 & Dec 3, 10am-4pm.

Casting Call: The Imagined City

 Title: The Imagined City

Honorarium - Non Union

Short Film - Drama/Experimental

Roles: Rowan, Chelsea and Jake.

Open call: People of all experience/backgrounds/identity/abilities are encouraged to submit.

Logline: Combating isolation and disillusion after their night shift, construction worker Rowan navigates the 'Canadian City' while it shifts and reshapes itself around them.

ROWAN

Any Ethnicity. Any Gender. (20-50)

(3 Days outdoor/indoor) (Stunt experience preferred but not required.)

Construction worker for a road crew. Despondent. Insular. Works long hours. An isolated newcomer to the city. Survives by sleeping on a couch in their cousin’s living room. Rowan faces each obstacle with a subdued mental distress but with strong convictions.

CHELSEA

Any Ethnicity. Female. (25-50)

(1 day, indoor.)

Rowan’s Cousin. Lives with her partner in a small house/apartment in the inner city suburbia. Stoic and overworked. Rowan came to her out of desperation and their relationship is based mainly on familial respect. So they are allowed to take up the living room till they get back on their feet.

JAKE

Any Ethnicity. Male. (20-50)

(1 day, outdoor.) (Stunt experience preferred but not required.)

Rowan’s Coworker ‘Friend’. Self-centred. Abrasive. Oblivious. Joker. Tackles two jobs while relying on favours. Playful ribbing belies a deep and unrelenting bitterness for the world around him and the people that inhabit it. Deeply misogynist and cruel while trying to relate to the people around him.

Trigger warnings: Profanity, self-harm, violence, misogyny.

[ A Girl ] 18 years old, female. A girl who feels anxious and wary of a big, dangerous world that

dwarfs her and wants to escape urgently, but holds a cold and malicious intent to use anything or

anyone to achieve her sense of comfort. Very little dialogue is present, and it relies on actions, non-

verbal cues, and facial expressions to convey emotions and the story

[Suit Person] 25-30 years old, female. A cold, collective, but determined and fierce former employee

wants to take down the organization controlling the world, adamant to show the truth to the surviving

people she spots, one at a time. Very little dialogue is present, and it relies on actions, non-verbal

cues, and facial expressions to convey emotions and the story.

[Controlled Man] 30-60 years old, male. An everyday, casual man whose freedom and free will were

taken away, and is now under the control of a higher power, part of the ongoing cycle of control.

[Lifeless Body] Any age and gender. Once a lively person, but after coming in contact with a light

bulb they were comfortingly drawn to, their life essence sapped away forever. No dialogue is present;

relies on action solely

STORYLINE:

A casual, everyday girl wakes up in a world gone wrong with a vague memory. Finding her way, she

sees a strange sense of comfort in a light bulb and eagerly searches to find her own, no matter the

cost. All the while, a strange person in a suit hunts after her, planning to expose a dark, hidden truth.

By the end of her journey, she finds out that it has all been a ruse, her life essence taken away, as the

suit person counts another victim.
