Title: Mask
Storyline: 'Mask' is a psychological short film that confronts the unravelling psyche of Jim, a socially isolated man struggling with depression, rejection, performative masculinity, and the disconnect between online intimacy and real human connection.
When his infatuation with a kind-hearted colleague, Irene, ends in disappointment, his identity crisis and emotional instability spiral into frustration and suppressed rage.
With striking commentary on modern masculinity, loneliness, and misguided entitlement, the story examines the raw truth of men navigating vulnerability in a hyper-digital age.
The film blurs the line between empathy and accountability, showing the dangerous consequences of internalized repression and fragile self-worth
This powerful project offers actors the chance to delve into an emotionally charged and socially resonant narrative. It’s ideal for those looking to engage in raw character-driven storytelling with festival potential
Where did this casting call come from?

Irene. Warm and kind-hearted, Jim’s workplace crush who unintentionally becomes a catalyst for his emotional collapse. She is romantically involved with another colleague. Must be comfortable with physical intimacy (kissing/hand-holding)
Female 30 to 40
Kim. Outspoken, unapologetic and inappropriate in a professional environment. She thrives on confrontation and boundary-pushing dialogue. Minor but impactful role
