Title: The Extra Shot
Storyline: In a small neighbourhood café, baristas Charlie and Wilson create a secret ritual of spitting in the drinks of fake smiling customers as a private joke.
But their caffeine-fuelled rebellion quickly escalates into a game of power, secrecy, and ethical chaos. As their playful protest turns serious, the café transforms into a battleground of quirky justice, unlikely friendships, and moral dilemmas.
This bold, funny, and strangely heartwarming comedy is perfect for actors who love fast-paced dialogue, offbeat humour, and layered characters.
The shoot promises a fun and energetic environment, strong character roles, and an opportunity to take part in a sharply written short film
No experience is needed although a commitment to filming with a good attitude is essential
Where did this casting call come from?
Female 18 to 34
Charlie. Cynical barista with a charming grin and a quiet vendetta against fake niceness. Sharp-tongued, effortlessly funny, and always one bad customer away from quitting — or starting a revolution
Male 18 to 34
Wilson. The chaotic understudy to Charlie’s caffeine-fueled rebellion. Goofy, curious, morally flexible, and surprisingly earnest. The kind of guy who’d spit in a babycino and then feel bad about it — eventually
Male 18 to 34
Bernie. Wholesome regular with the energy of a golden retriever in a yellow tie. Unintentionally caught in the crossfire of spit-based justice. Kind, oblivious — until he isn’t. Holds more power than he lets on

Soccer Mum. A customer role
Male 25 to 41
Art Wanker. A customer role
Male 30 to 44
Vincent. Boss and owner of the store
