CASTING CALL – VIDEO GAME COMMERCIAL

Description

PROJECT DETAILS
A short fantasy film and video game teaser with a Viking, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings-inspired atmosphere. Set during Fimbulwinter, immediately before Ragnarök.

LOGLINE
A fantasy story set in the lead-up to Ragnarök, featuring a mysterious prophet whose quiet authority and visions carry significant weight.

LOOKING FOR:
An experienced male actor, playing age 65–80, for the role of THE PROPHET.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
A weary traveller sheltering in a dark corner, carrying a staff and a ragged bundle, with barely enough strength to hold his soup. Hunger, cold and fatigue are evident in his body. He initially appears easy to overlook, but his presence gradually commands the room.

His prophetic gift is real, but he never identifies himself as a seer. His authority comes from quiet certainty. His visions should feel like things he is witnessing, with pauses shaped by what he perceives and the effort of speaking.

- A weathered character actor who can convey emotion through stillness and a worn, intimate voice
- Must be able to portray blindness consistently; blind and non-blind actors are welcome
- Contact lenses may be required
