CASTING CALL – GRADUATE SHORT FILM – EALING

Description

PRODUCTION:
Creatively Castrated

GENRE:
Comedy / Satire

LOGLINE:
A group of disillusioned film students submit a formal complaint against their school while, at the same time, equipment goes missing from one of their shoots. The school assumes the students are responsible, triggering an investigation.

LOOKING FOR:
IVAN - Male | Playing Age: Early 20s
A loud-mouthed wisecracker with a fiery temper. Academically capable in subjects he enjoys but feels the school has taken those interests away from him.

MELIS - Female | Playing Age: Early 20s Calm, level-headed and always trying her best. Unimpressed by the school but refuses to let that define her. Outspoken and articulate.

ROWAN - Male | Playing Age: Late 20s
The embodiment of a hoodie-wearing perpetual dropout. Frequently changes majors and keeps his head down in the hope of finally completing a degree.

ISAAC - Male | Playing Age: Early 20s
A self-important, patronising auteur searching for evidence of his own genius. Believes he's different from and superior to everyone else.

JEREMY - Male | Playing Age: 30s
A has-been who never really was. Uses teaching as a means of control and is more interested in the pay cheque than his students.

JORDAN - Male or Female | Playing Age: 30s
A guidance counsellor with false kindness. An overworked administrator who jumps to conclusions and makes poor judgements.
