  • 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)
