Seeking Aspiring Actors For A Powerful Short Film With A Touch of Mystery & Emotion

Location: England, all regions

Estimated payment: Paid, including expensesicon

Title: Poppy

Storyline: This is a paid casting call for a heartfelt and emotionally driven short film being created for a film contest.

The story centers on complex and expressive characters, highlighting themes of vulnerability, strength, and inner transformation. Filming is taking place in the North West of England, including Preston and surrounding areas.

The characters range from emotionally layered leads to non-speaking roles that are crucial to the visual and thematic tone of the project.

One character provides a narrative voiceover, and another has scenes involving water. The film will be emotionally resonant and visually engaging, ideal for actors who want to challenge themselves with deeply human storytelling.

This project is an incredible opportunity to be part of a compelling story with a fast turnaround, meaningful characters, and professional production.

You should apply if you're passionate about acting, eager to perform in an emotionally rich short film, and are looking for paid, professional screen credits.

No experience is needed, but a strong commitment to filming and a positive, professional attitude is essential
