Casting For Psychological Coming-Of-Age Short Film Exploring Gendered Power And Emotional Boundaries

Location: Germany, all regions

Estimated payment: £150 to £180icon

Title: Where Yes Means No

Storyline: A young woman, struggling to claim independence from her parents’ control, enters into an emotionally layered encounter with an older, magnetic man.

Flattered by his attention and intrigued by the sense of autonomy it seems to offer, she finds herself navigating a dynamic that begins as validation but slowly reveals an imbalance of power.

As discomfort grows beneath the surface of desire, she must confront her longing to feel special and face the quiet entitlement disguised in his charm. What follows is a subdued yet determined act of self-assertion.

Improvisation will shape much of the film's script and performance, offering a deep collaborative experience between director and cast to explore the subtleties of gender dynamics and personal agency.

This film is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful storytelling through emotionally honest, improvisation-based performances
