Job Specifics:

Details:

We are a group of MA Filmmaking students at the University of Sussex producing a 14-minute psychological thriller as a part of our thesis film for the course.

‘Encircles’ is a psychological thriller about Peter, an outdoorsy trekker, becoming lost inside a bewitched forest in pursuit to find his brother. As he comes to accept his tragic loss, the forest is not all as it seems.

There is one main role:

Peter: Male, 20-30. Peter, a well travelled adventurous trekker, grew up to be extremely close with his younger brother Michael. Without Michael he is a lost man and the trauma of Michael’s tragic death sends him into a delusional state. (This role will require you to be physically fit).

We are looking for an actor who is interested in developing his character with the director through a short rehearsal period. Ideally you will be experienced in improvisation, flexible when working with text, able to develop character, and highly committed to the role. We welcome actors with any or no training, background, and experience.

- You must be available for 4 - 5 rehearsals throughout July (flexible to your availability) and 4 - 5 days of shooting in late July. (Exact dates to be negotiated)
- You will be provided a copy of the film for your show reel. It will also be submitted to national film festivals.
