Paid Casting Call: Irish Actors Wanted for Emotional Short Drama About Family and Repressed Pain

Film title: Prolix

'Prolix' is a lyrical and emotionally intense short film set in the Irish Midlands, following two brothers as they drift through a life shaped by violence, loyalty, and the heavy silence between them.

Their bond is strained by unspoken trauma, but never broken. The story captures how emotional repression and childhood scars surface in quiet but powerful ways.

Red Sauce, the older brother, wears confidence as armour to hide deeper emotional fractures. Boss, the younger, is curious and childlike—drawn to his brother but shadowed by his own vulnerability.

Together, their journey is a poetic exploration of masculine fragility, familial love, and the ache of things left unsaid.

This is a powerful opportunity to portray complex, introspective roles in a film that prizes emotional truth and cinematic poetry
