Seeking Emerging Actors For A Haunting Short Film On Grief, Friendship And Life Beyond Death

Storyline: Set on the Sunshine Coast, this short film tells the haunting and emotional story of two best friends, Illyana and Darby. Illyana is disturbed and overwhelmed with grief, emotionally numb and struggling to block out her pain.

Darby, who has already passed away, carries a sense of nostalgic calm but is deeply concerned for her best friend’s suffering.

The film explores themes of death, memory, and emotional survival. Darby is both at peace and saddened by her separation from Illyana, and the story unfolds as she tries to guide Illyana away from despair.

This surreal and poignant drama dives into the duality of grief and healing, showing the pain of holding on and the peace of letting go.

Actors should apply for this project because it provides the chance to explore layered emotional performances and atmospheric storytelling.

With strong visual imagery and a deeply human theme, this film will be a meaningful addition to an actor’s portfolio
