Seeking Passionate Actors For A Thought Provoking Short Film About Family, Trauma, And The Passage Of Time

Title: Acceleration

Storyline: 'Acceleration' is a low-budget student short film that delves into generational trauma, family bonds, and the patterns that define us. The story spans across decades, following three generations of fathers and sons as they wrestle with grief, memory, and reconciliation.

From a rebellious teenager in the 1990s to a haunted elderly man struggling to remember his past, each character confronts the echoes of inherited pain. As one boy acts out of empathy, he begins to heal what years of silence and resentment have built. But time is running out — and those lost to memory may never return.

This poignant exploration of love, regret, and healing offers actors the chance to embody emotionally rich, multi-generational characters in a film that lingers long after the credits roll.

Why apply: a deeply emotional and character-driven project produced at MetFilm School Berlin, offering valuable experience, professional footage, and the opportunity to work on a film exploring universal human themes
