Micro-Budget Horror Short Film Open Casting Call

Date:

Open casting call: Actors wanted for chilling micro-budget horror short in New Jersey.

Are you ready to delve into a world of suspense and terror? A new opportunity for actors looking to showcase their talent in a gripping horror short film has emerged. Set against the backdrop of suburban North Jersey, this production seeks individuals who can bring intensity and depth to their roles in a narrative filled with dark twists and unsettling turns.

The film revolves around Mia, a deceptive girl scout whose innocent facade masks a disturbing presence, bringing a wave of terror into the life of Jordan, a woman who’s just beginning to settle into her new home. As the story unfolds, viewers will be gripped by a tale of invasion and horror that transforms an everyday setting into a stage for fear.

Character Breakdown:

Jordan: A female in her 30s of any ethnicity. Jordan is the heart of the story, a fresh face to homeownership whose world is upended by eerie events. The actor must be adept at portraying a broad emotional spectrum, from the highs of a new beginning to the absolute terror of her situation.

Mia: A female actor must play a character of any ethnicity in her teens, though she must be 18+ to apply. Mia is not your average girl scout; beneath her innocent exterior lies a dark and threatening persona. This complex character requires an actor who seamlessly transitions from sweet and endearing to sinister and chilling.

Your Role as an Actor:

  • A legal adult aged 18 or over with the ability to portray a younger character for the role of Mia convincingly.
  • A wide emotional range and strong acting skills.
