CASTING CALL – THE PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW (SHORT FILM)

Description

ABOUT:
A 20-minute horror/thriller about two friends who escape to a remote cottage. What begins as a relaxing break turns into a psychological horror as strangers gather outside and refuse to leave.

ROLES:
ANDIE – Lead, Female – open ethnicity
• Playing age: Early to mid 20s
Andie is someone who has never really questioned her place in a room. Not because she is arrogant, but because that kind of self-doubt simply does not occur to her. She is warm, direct, and easy to be around. She makes decisions quickly, backs them completely, and moves on.

Traits:
• Warm, direct, decisive
• Confident without being loud
• Dry humour, loyal

JULIA – Lead, Female – open ethnicity
• Playing age: Early to mid 20s
Julia is the kind of person who notices everything. She takes in a room quietly, files what she finds, and plans around it. Other people call this worrying. Julia calls it noting. She is not the loudest person in a conversation, but she is often the most interesting one. She thinks before she speaks and what she says tends to land.

Traits:
• Observant, analytical
• Quiet but impactful
• Emotionally intelligent under pressure
