  • Casting for a short student film “I am not human”

    Description

    Looking for actors for a short student film, film dates are next month. This is an unpaid role but travel reimbursed and food provided.

    TITLE: I AM NOT HUMAN
    OUTLINE:
    After the end of humanity, a lone man remains, living in a small makeshift greenhouse, caring for the barely surviving plants. His only company is an AI companion who helps him to maintain the space. When he begins to question his own memories of the world before, a truth forces him to rethink who he is and why he was the last to survive.

    GENRE/THEMES: Sci-fi drama, Identity, Pride

    APPROX. SHOOTING DATES: 5 days. Between 14th-22nd March 2026
    SHOOTING LOCATION: Glasgow City Centre, single indoor location.

    Looking for people for the two main roles:

    THE GARDENER

    Lead, male presenting, 20-30s, any ethnicity.

    The Gardener believes that he is the last human alive. He lives his days inside a makeshift greenhouse, where he tends to the plants with care and pride after the “end of the world,” alongside his AI companion. The garden is the only thing that keeps him going, it’s his whole identity and purpose.

    He is a gentle man but can be stubborn. He lives by routine and does not adjust to changes or deviations. He is contained in his emotions.

    Cracks start to appear in his sense of self, and he profusely denies them. He is unspokenly lonely. Afraid to face anything outside or not relating to his garden. He later discovers that his sense of purpose may not be what he believes. This arc devastates him, as he deals with the collapse of his identity.
    What we’re looking for:
    Expressive in subtlety, able to carry long quiet moments, performance must land emotionally rather than theatrical.

    THE COMPANION

    Supporting, male or female presenting, 20-30s, any ethnicity.

    The Companion is first introduced as Artificial Intelligence left behind by humanity after its collapse. They take a human form, calm and observant, assisting the gardener with monitoring systems, offering data and providing company, even if not human.

    They speak simply, yet warmly, a gentle presence. They are critical in providing the gardener with truth.
    They are neutral in speech, but not detached. The companion does not hold any hostility, they are programmed to help.
    What we’re looking for:
    Calm dialogue delivery without sounding too mechanical, portray warmth and intelligence without any arrogance, Steady performance.

    Character dynamic:
    They have a shared routine caring for the garden. Their companionship is quiet and familiar. The Companion acts only to help the gardener, even when it’s later detrimental to the gardener’s mental state.

    More information on each character can be provided if needed.

    Will also be on the lookout for extra crew members for assistance on shoot days.

  • Student Short Film – “The Echo Lens

    Description

    Student Short Film – “The Echo Lens”

    Casting for a 2nd Year Salford University psychological thriller short film shooting in and around Manchester / Salford.

    Logline
    A skeptical young woman signs up to test a revolutionary new therapy device, but soon realises the process is erasing her personality.

    Roles

    Maya / The Echo
    Gender: Female
    Age Range: 20–30

    Maya: Our protagonist is Maya. She is sharp, observant, and ‘prickly.’ Visually, we are dressing her in baggy, layered clothing. She is literally hiding her body from the world. Her flaw is that she equates ‘help’ with ‘control.’ She refuses to let anyone in, which is why she notices the uncanny valley in the simulation before anyone else. She is the only thing in this movie that feels messy and real.

    The Echo: This is a 92% accurate simulation of Maya, stripped of the ‘negative’ traits. To distinguish the performance, the Echo will maintain unbroken eye contact and speak with a perfectly smooth cadence. The horror is in the missing 8%. The Echo cannot use sarcasm or irony. It replies to emotion with pure logic. It doesn’t fight Maya; it invalidates her. If Maya screams, the Echo just smiles and asks, “Why are you choosing to be difficult?”

    Elias
    Gender: Male
    Age Range: 20–30

    He is the ‘perfect’ boyfriend. He never raises his voice; he speaks in therapy-speak. Visually, he is the opposite of Maya. He wears perfectly fitted, clean lines. His tragedy is that he isn’t trying to be evil; he just values peace over truth. He doesn’t want to understand Maya’s pain; he wants to solve it. He is the one who pushes her toward the machine because he wants a girlfriend who fits as perfectly as his clothes.

    Key Information
    Filming Dates: 16th March – 2nd April (TBC)
    Location: Manchester / Salford

    Unpaid roles – food, travel, copy and credit provided.
