Auditions Open For Poignant Coming-Of-Age Drama About Friendship And Social Divide

Title: Fifteen Percent

Storyline: Set during the quiet, charged days of lockdown, two teenage boys, Alex and Finlay, sneak into their high school to retrieve their exam results. What begins as a reckless plan to find closure turns into a confrontation of how far their lives have drifted apart.

Alex, guarded and burdened beyond his years, comes from a working-class background, while Finlay, more relaxed and confident, represents the privileged path. Their shared history collides with an uncertain future as the boys are forced to reflect on friendship, class, and inevitable change.

With a raw and understated filmmaking style influenced by Ken Loach and Clio Barnard, this naturalistic drama explores real emotional depth through subtle performances and honest storytelling.

This is a powerful opportunity for young actors to tell a story that resonates with real social issues and emotional complexity. It’s ideal for those passionate about authentic, character-driven cinema

No experience is needed although a commitment to filming with a good attitude is required
