    This is a passion-driven project aimed at securing funding for a full-length feature film in 2027.

    Role Available

    Josh – Lead Male
    – Gender: Male
    – Age: Mid-20s
    – Ethnicity: Open
    – Accent: Northern

    Character Description:
    Josh is the band’s drummer. Warm, grounded, and quietly observant, he acts as the emotional anchor of the group. Often overlooked, his presence brings calm and clarity when tensions rise. His humour is dry and well-timed, and his loyalty runs deep, even when caught between friends. Josh does not seek the spotlight, but when he speaks, it matters.

    Drumming experience is a bonus but not required. There is potential to form a real band, work with an existing band, and co-write original songs.

    What to Expect
    – Scenes range from intimate conversations to ensemble party moments
    – Footage will be used for the short film, pitching the feature film, festival submissions, and personal showreels

  • CASTING CALL – SHORT FILM

    Description

    Role: Wren
    Playing age: 18–28
    Ethnicity: Open to all
    Pay: £200 per day (paid role)

    About the Role:
    Wren carries a soft vulnerability with a sharp, comedic edge that can pivot into something darker and psychotic. The character has lived through trauma and is trying to get back into the rhythm of life by taking a night job at a fish factory. She expects basic decency, but is repeatedly let down. Wren endures as long as possible until she finally snaps — spectacularly.
    Before that breaking point, she is tender, guarded and quietly funny.

    Character Notes / Requirements:

    Vulnerability with a strong comedic edge

    Ideally petite (not essential)

    Particularly encouraging neurodiverse and disabled actors

    Wild/cold swimming experience, or willingness to learn (major bonus)

    Must be non-squeamish and comfortable around birds (essential)

    Must be able to ride a bike

    Shoot Details:

    Shoot duration: Approx. 4 days
    Shoot period: End of March 2026
    Location: South Devon
