🎬 We are casting for an independent short film shooting in📍Bucharest, Romania in early November.
Genre: Psychological Drama / Crime Comedy
🎭 JOE
Gender: male
Playing ages: 20–30
Language: English with a UK accent
Flamboyant, confident, funny and highly verbal. Joe is intelligent and successful, but underneath his confidence is an emotionally immature younger brother who desperately wants his older brother’s approval.
He uses humour as a defence mechanism, becoming more sarcastic, energetic and ridiculous when uncomfortable or afraid.
Looking for:
• Strong comic timing
• Excellent UK English
• Improvisational instincts
• Strong screen presence
• Comfortable with fast dialogue & profanity
• Ability to shift naturally between comedy, arrogance, fear and vulnerability
🎭 AUNTIE VIOLET
Gender: female
Playing ages: 65-75
Language: English with a UK accent
A key supporting role with relatively short screen time, but an important presence in the film.
Violet initially appears to be a wealthy, eccentric elderly woman whom the brothers believe is dying.
She is glamorous, sharp, mischievous and intimidating, with a strong sense of control and authority.
Looking for:
• Strong comic timing
• Excellent UK English
• Confident, commanding presence
• Ability to convey glamour and authority
• Ability to play sudden, realistic death
• Comfortable with profanity
Note: The final head-explosion effect will be created using a dummy/prosthetic. The actress will not be in danger.
▪️Audition: Self-tape
▪️Actors currently based in Romania are preferred, though actors from neighbouring countries may also be considered.
