Psychological Short Film 'Shells'. Casting 2 Intense Acting Roles

Location: Scotland, all regions

Estimated payment: £185 to £220icon

Storyline: Margo suffers from Magistroeophobia, a crippling phobia of cooking that has left her ashamed, isolated and frightened of the kitchen.

When her therapist, Ruth, insists on exposure therapy, Margo is pushed back into the space she has long avoided, forced to relive traumatic memories she has fought desperately to suppress

As the session intensifies, every burned edge, every mistake and every scalding sound pushes Margo further into panic while Ruth’s cold detachment escalates the pressure. What begins as therapy soon becomes psychological warfare.

No experience is required; the team simply asks for commitment, focus and a willingness to explore intense psychological material.
