CASTING CALL – FAIRCHILD SHORT FILM

Description

An independent short film inspired by Santan Dave's Fairchild is seeking actors for lead, supporting and extra roles.

SEEKING
TAMAH - Playing age 24
Lead role • Female • Black
Warm, humorous and emotionally present with her friends. Quietly vigilant, Tamah instinctively reads shifts in tone and behaviour, often masking her caution behind composure.

SHANICE
Playing age 23–26
Supporting role • Female • Black
Charismatic and impulsive, Shanice thrives on attention and the energy of nightlife. Her confidence can border on carelessness, brushing off discomfort in favour of spontaneity.

ISHA
Playing age 23–26
Supporting role • Female • Black
Carefree, funny and easily swept up in the mood of the room. Beneath her energy is a quiet dependence on the people around her to keep her grounded.

PARTY GIRL
Playing age 24–28
Supporting role • Female
A partygoer who loves to have fun and live in the moment. Often seen walking the streets with friends, carefree and unaware of the potential dangers around them.

JERMAINE
Playing age 24–29
Supporting Role • Male • Black/mixed Race
Confident and charming, Jermaine is used to getting what he wants. He doesn't take no for an answer and will keep pushing until he gets his way.

JOSH
Playing age 24–28
Supporting role • Male
One of the men in Jermaine's circle. Josh is all about having a good night out, enjoying himself and living in the moment, without giving much thought to the consequences of the following day.

TYRESE
Playing age 24–28
Supporting role • Male • Black
Tyreese is one of the 'Mandem' and part of Jermaine's circle. He's a regular at the club, with only two things on his mind: drinking and flirting with anyone willing to give him the time of day.

TAXI DRIVER
Playing age 45+
Supporting role • Male • White /Eastern European/Asian
An old-fashioned, overly conversational taxi driver who comes across as slightly creepy and intrusive. His unsettling nature should come through in the small details of his behaviour and conversation rather than anything overt or exaggerated.

North London
