Title: Strawflower
Storyline: Set in the golden light of a vegetable garden, Strawflower follows a quiet afternoon between Thea and Felix, a young couple delicately approaching the end of their relationship.
As they garden together, their unspoken fears and unvoiced truths stir beneath the surface. Thea feels the subtle shift in their bond, her anxiety casting doubt across each glance and silence. Felix, calm and kind, doesn’t yet realise the emotional distance growing between them.
It’s a tender and evocative exploration of impermanence, emotional communication, and the quiet beauty of parting ways. With lyrical visuals and layered performances, the film captures the final heartbeat of a relationship fading into memory.
Aspiring actors should apply for the opportunity to play a nuanced, emotional role in a festival-driven short. The creative team includes AFTRS and NYU alumni, offering a high-quality experience and meaningful performance material
