Description

Casting "Waiting Room", a short film. Three siblings come to a hospital because they have been told that their dad is going in for an emergency surgery that could lead to him losing his life. Whilst in the waiting room, there is a tension that hangs above all of them, of something unsaid about past abuse.

Roles:

Willow (26-30)

Outgoing and vibrant, but there’s far more going on beneath the surface. She’s a contradiction: at times she seems unable to read the room, yet she has a deep, almost instinctive understanding of what others are feeling. This raises the question - why can she see everyone else so clearly, but not herself?

Olivia (27-32)

The matriarch of the family. She isn’t Willow and Lucas’s mother, but they both look up to her as if she were. She carries quiet authority, and with it, the weight of responsibility - she has always been the one forced to make the hard decisions. She may have sensed that Willow and Lucas were carrying something, but she never knew the full truth until now.

Shoots 27th-29th March in Salford/Manchester, TBA.

PLEASE NOTE: These are unpaid roles! Showreel footage provided, will be submitted to film festivals and travel expenses will be paid.
