Casting Call – Lead Actress (30–45) for Character-Driven Film
We’re casting a lead role in a film focused on two characters navigating an emotionally charged situation through long, uninterrupted scenes and grounded performances.
The film is quiet, subtle, and naturalistic — centered on conversation, body language, and the kind of tension that builds in pauses as much as in dialogue. It’s a performance-driven piece with no flashy plot twists, just real human behavior unfolding in real time. Think small gestures, unrehearsed energy, and emotional honesty.
We’re looking for an actress (30–45) who excels at nuance, is comfortable with long takes, and can convey depth without heightened theatrics. Ideal for someone who connects with intimate, actor-forward material and enjoys leaning into silence, awkwardness, and truth.

If you’re drawn to character studies and minimalism, and love when a scene’s power comes from what isn’t said, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a headshot and a resume or reel, if available. First time actors are encouraged too.
