Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Casting an actress for a short film called "What She Said". More details are below. About the project: The film follows Tonya as she delivers a furious message. What the audience slowly discovers is that this is actually an audition — but one that lands far deeper than intended in the film producer. Rate: $100 CAD (paid role). Non-Union. Additional information: Location: Edmonton, Alberta. Tentative Date: Mid-August 2025. Shooting Time: Approx. 2–3 hours. Will be filming two emotionally connected scenes in a public park, both in the same shoot day. If you're not comfortable delivering profanity-heavy lines, this role likely isn’t a good fit. Shoot Details: Exterior shoot in a public park (location TBD). Small, minimal crew. Content Warning: The script contains strong language (swearing) and emotionally intense dialogue. If you feel inspired, you can record a quick self-tape (phone video is perfectly fine) performing a portion — or all — of the script shown in the 3 attached slides (1, 2, 3). It doesn’t have to be polished — directors just want to get a sense of your tone and delivery. It will definitely help them in the selection process.
