Casting Breakdown
Crianza is a psychological drama feature film. The story follows Alan and Emma, a couple visiting a remote vineyard owned by Don Eliseos, where a wine tasting spirals into a tense battle of power, seduction, and moral decay.
Andres Carmona is our Director, a student in Advanced Film Production of Bow Valley College. Our Executive Producer is Jacob Hartland, of Yakomo Jones Productions.
We are non-union.
We are looking for talent who may fit this role:
Alan Kuryn; Male, 30-40s, He is a failed artist whose charm hides deep frustration and guilt. He is intelligent and manipulative, he swings between control and collapses, love and cruelty. A complex ego, vulnerability, and denial.
We want the actors to be aware that this story does involve violence, sexuality and gore. There will also be an intimate scene with the couple, in which we will have an intimacy coordinator to work with them.
Filming is a three week shoot in May 2026, along with a 3 day shoot in June or July 2026. Our dates have yet to be finalized.
Location is in the Calgary area, and potentially Creston, BC.
As I have mentioned in the previous email, all expenses will be paid for.
I have also attached the sides here as well. SIDES
Let me know if there is any other information or anything else I have missed, and I can provide them for you :)
Kind regards,
