CASTING CALL – MYVERSE FEATURE FILM

Description

ROLE
James - lead
Male, early 20s
James is the lead of the film; a bright but increasingly isolated young man who becomes consumed by a high-risk personal experiment and the discovery of a life-changing lottery ticket. As pressure builds, James spirals into a serious mental health crisis that endangers himself and those closest to him, before a long road toward recovery

This is a demanding, emotionally layered lead role requiring an actor comfortable moving between quiet introversion, obsessive intensity, and moments of acute psychological breakdown

The film includes sensitive themes around mental health crisis and a suicide-attempt storyline, handled with care
