Now Casting in Wellington: Sci-Fi Short Film Following a Floating Man’s Unusual Return

Location: New Zealand, all regions

Estimated payment: £150 to £180icon

Title: Hover

Storyline: 'Hover' is a surreal and heartfelt short film that follows Scuba, a solitary man with a quiet, content life running his humble sandwich shop.

On one ordinary night, as he walks home, Scuba begins to mysteriously float three inches above the ground. Strangely, he doesn’t panic or wonder how — instead, he simply tries to stop it.

When every attempt fails, his short walk home becomes a difficult, almost spiritual journey.

What begins as a bizarre nuisance soon becomes a metaphor for change, discomfort, and the fragility of control. As visions of the future haunt him, Scuba is forced to confront his existence and the life he’s built around comfort and routine.

This unique and visually stylised film offers actors the chance to play a highly physical and emotionally layered role in a story that is both darkly comedic and deeply human.

Great for any actor looking to expand their portfolio through stunt work, physicality, and internal characterisation

Scuba. Scuba is a man getting away with just existing. He is content in his little sandwich shop, and his one bedroom apartment. He probably would look quite nice with a haircut and a shave.

His day to day is all he needs, and any interruption of that ruins his day. This role requires talent working with a special effects rig and will likely be quite a physical role involving stunt elements.

Please ensure that you are fit and able, and comfortable working in these conditions before applying
