Title: My Date Suffers From Subtitles
Storyline: This lighthearted comedy follows a first date between Ellie and Richard that takes an unexpected turn when visible subtitles start appearing whenever Richard speaks.
Initially shocked, Ellie quickly realises that the subtitles are revealing more than Richard intends — and sometimes more than he actually says.
As the situation unfolds, Richard’s attempts to navigate the date spiral into awkwardness and comic missteps, highlighting the challenges of communication, honesty, and first impressions.
The story plays on timing, subtle performances, and the humour found in unspoken truths being revealed in the most literal way possible.
Aspiring actors should apply because this is a fun, paid opportunity for a short and efficient shoot, allowing for creative, expressive performances in a unique comedy concept filmed in a single session
