CASTING CALL – ‘RETURN POLICY’ INDEPENDENT SHORT FILM

Description

LOGLINE
A widow pays a price for one more evening with her husband. She lights the candles, and at eight o’clock exactly, he is home again, entirely unaware that he ever left or that he is dead.

LEAD ROLE
Anne
Female, playing age 48 to 60. A widow who still sets two places out of habit. Anne gives her husband the warmest evening of his life while quietly falling apart beneath the surface. The role requires a performer who can carry long, quiet stretches of screen time and bring unguarded emotion to a pivotal confession.

LEAD ROLE
Patrick
Male, playing age 48 to 60. Patrick wakes at the table with no memory of how he arrived and a growing sense that something about the evening is wrong. The role requires warmth and ease at first, followed by a gradual, unsettling shift as Patrick begins to understand the truth.

SHOOT DATES
9th–11th November 2026

LOCATION
United Kingdom, to be confirmed

COMPENSATION
Accommodation, food and agreed expenses will be provided for the shoot period. Cast will receive an IMDb credit and a copy for their showreel.
