CASTING CALL — “CONFESSION” Short Film | Psychological Drama Written by Luke Mison

Description

“Confession” is a haunting, minimalist psychological drama set entirely within a church. The story follows a man trapped in a temporal loop of confession after his wife’s death — a study of guilt, indifference, and the emotional cost of “honesty without mercy.”

ROLES

THE MAN — Lead | Male | 30s–40s
Direct, weary, and profoundly honest. A man who married because he “liked being necessary” and “wanted control,” but never found love.
Requires an actor capable of delivering lines without tremor or shame, seeking accuracy rather than forgiveness.
Must be able to perform subtle shifts across repetitive “reset” scenes.

THE PRIEST — Supporting | Male | 50s–70s
Calm, composed, and rehearsed. The constant within the loop, offering formal absolution and biblical wisdom (Isaiah, 1 John) to a man who resists it.
Strong vocal presence required, with sustained low, controlled intensity.
