Title: Body Count
Storyline: 'Body Count' is a darkly comedic queer horror film that follows Seb, an anxious, body-conscious man in his early 30s, who joins his misfit friends at an exclusive house party hosted by glamorous young men.
But what starts as a wild, drug-fuelled night quickly descends into surreal horror when Seb discovers the hosts are actually vampire twinks preying on aging, insecure gay men.
As Seb is hunted through the night, the real horror isn't just the vampires, it’s the demons of his own self-image, shame, and internalised toxicity.
This story blends camp, comedy, gore, and emotional honesty as Seb battles not only supernatural predators, but also his own self-worth.
This is an incredible opportunity for a performer with emotional range, subtlety, and strong comedic instincts. Ideal for actors looking to lead a bold, genre-defying queer project

Seb is the heart of Body Count. Approaching 30, he’s the kind of guy who’s learned to fade into the background. He’s not unattractive, just someone who can’t see himself clearly.
Years of self-criticism, queer body standards, and internalised shame have left him feeling like an outsider even in spaces meant for him. He struggles with body dysmorphia, and although he’s funny, dry, and secretly charming, he’s stuck in a loop of self deprecation and envy.
His arc is about confronting his own reflection, both metaphorically and literally and learning to reject the toxic beauty standards that have haunted him.
Looking for a performer with subtlety, emotional depth, and strong comic timing. This role requires someone able to portray both humour and vulnerability, often in the same beat. A lived experience with queer identity is a huge bonus, but not essential
