  • STUDENT – SHORT MOCKUMENTARY FILM | RAPID | BRISTOL

    Description

    SHORT MOCKUMENTARY FILM
    We are casting speaking roles and male athlete extras for RAPID, a 10-minute mockumentary graduation film produced as part of the BA Filmmaking course at UWE Bristol.

    The film will be shot in Bristol from 2nd–6th March 2026. This is a student project, unpaid with travel expenses and food provided, intended for university assessment, portfolio use, and festival submission.

    STORY:

    RAPID follows a small documentary crew as they capture former sprint star Ian Hitchworth’s attempted comeback through a chaotic charity race.

    Told in a deadpan mockumentary style, the film blends awkward comedy with moments of vulnerability.

    Humour comes through stillness, micro-expressions, and uncomfortable silences — very performance-led and character-driven.

    SPEAKING ROLES:

    SHOP CUSTOMER
    Female, 60+
    Small speaking role confronting Ian in the sports shop where he works. Dry, natural delivery.

    SAM – CHANGING ROOM ATHLETE
    Male, 20s
    Sarcastic and cynical. Quietly undermines Ian with dry interrogation and subtle looks to camera. Comedy comes through restraint.

    DUNCAN – CHANGING ROOM ATHLETE
    Male, 20s
    Slow-witted but fascinated by the camera. Emotionless, slightly odd presence. Competing in the trial with no real passion — just wants something to do.

    EXTRAS:

    MALE ATHLETE EXTRAS – CHANGING ROOM & RACE SCENES
    Male, 18–35
    Looking for male extras to play track athletes in changing room and race scenes.

    Comfortable in sportswear and performing in a natural mockumentary-style environment. Strong reactions and subtle on-camera presence important.

    Great opportunity to gain on-set experience, receive a screen credit, and obtain showreel material.

    KEY INFO:
    Location: Bristol
    Shoot dates: 2nd–6th March 2026 (likely one day only for most roles)
    Payment: Voluntary (travel expenses & food provided)

    CASTING CALL! PROFIT SHARE

    Looking for an actor (Male, late 20's/early 30's) for an upcoming production of a new one act play, AS GOOD AS GOD LOVES THEM, which will run for 5 nights (28th April - 2nd May)

    Rehearsals will begin in March and will likely consist of an weeknight and Sunday session each week (though we will be mindful of the availability of the cast. Payment will come via a profit share.

    Please note future roles for this production may be advertised, so keep 'em peeled!

    AS GOOD AS GOD LOVES THEM
    A bleak one-act plague drama inspired by the events in Eyam. In a remote Derbyshire village in post-Civil War England, plague has inexplicably broken out. In order to prevent the disease spreading, the villagers quarantine themselves from the rest of the county. At the village boundary, a watchman sits to ensure nothing gets in and no one gets out. Then, a stranger arrives…

    A story about how long hope can endure, when everything around it is dying.

    PEELE
    Male. Late 20’s/Early 30’s. Southern. The village rector and its moral leader, relatively new to the parish - within his first 2 years. It was he who instituted the quarantine and his word enforces it – and he feels the weight and guilt of the loss and desperation that has resulted. There is a perhaps a degree of naivety in him, has grown up with the belief the universe bends towards the good. Bad times end. God is always with us, even when we can’t see him. This period is a test to that belief. He is not sleeping. Not eating. And finds himself increasingly isolated from his parishioners. Exhausted – physically, mentally and spiritually.
