Casting Call For An Emotional Student Short Film About Family, Adolescence And Mental Illness

Title: Soap

Storyline: 'Soap' is a heartfelt student short film that tells the story of Claire, a mother struggling to maintain her relationship with her teenage daughter Siobhan as they both grapple with the challenges of mental illness.

Siobhan is a lonely girl dealing with undiagnosed OCD while trying to navigate adolescence, while her brother Sean suffers from being the overlooked 'glass child' in the family.

The story explores how love, exhaustion, and misunderstanding impact their family dynamic. A teacher, representing outside authority, adds to the complexity with their indifference.

This intimate film offers raw, emotionally grounded performances and gives actors the opportunity to bring to life characters at the heart of a realistic family drama.

This is a moving project perfect for actors looking to gain experience in a layered and emotionally challenging role within a supportive student production team
