We are currently casting for a PAID, ultra-low-budget indie feature film that will be shooting in and around the metro Atlanta area. The Film is in the HORROR genre and will have elements of gore and brutality. We are planning on splitting production with the first half of Principal Photography at the end of October/beginning of November, and the second half taking place at the beginning of 2026. Improvisational Skills are a huge plus. Actors Local to the Atlanta Area are also preferred. If you are not local to the Greater Atlanta area, you must be willing to travel and lodge at your own expense for principal photography dates or any additional voice-over work. This is a horror-based film that will have elements of Blood, Gore, intense brutality, and psychological elements. There is NO Nudity or Sexual scenes. **Please note** the roles listed are not the only ones we need filled; we do have additional, minor roles that we might ask you to read for in a callback.

Emily is a warm, thoughtful, and idealistic lawyer who works for a non-profit. A small-town girl who was mostly raised and supported by her sister, RACHEL, with whom she is closest, and has a very supportive boyfriend, TYLER, who surprises her with a proposal at a Halloween party. Stunt or Fight Choreography training or experience for this role is a plus.
Rachel is a pragmatic, emotionally strong, and not-so-easily shaken nurse in the ER and ICU. She is accustomed to stress and danger. After her mother passed, Rachel helped raise her little sister, Emily, and is very protective of her. She is married to Dan, who is equally as strong-willed, and while they might butt heads every once in a while, they fiercely love each other and those closest to them. Will be asked to wear a “Sexy Nurse” Costume for a Halloween party scene.
Dan is an aspiring documentarian/filmmaker who is witty, skeptical, and sometimes a bit of a hot head. He occasionally finds himself in hot water with his wife Rachel when he acts impulsively, but he loves her, Rachel’s sister Emily, and one of his best friends, Tyler, to a fault. While usually charismatic with a little dark humor, Dan can be aggressively protective, especially if someone threatens those closest to him.
Tyler is a loveable, charming, and slightly nerdy guy who has big dreams of being a Main Act magician in Las Vegas. A guy who is in love with Emily and plans on surprising her with a proposal at a Halloween party. Sometimes he doesn't feel worthy of Emily since she is the breadwinner in their relationship. Loyal and perceptive Tyler strives to impress Emily, her sister Rachel, and long-time friend Dan. Sleight of Hand Magic experience for this role is a plus.
After suffering a tragic loss many years ago, The Director (real name Unknown), takes it upon himself to orchestrate a situation that most would consider horrific in nature. Always wearing a mask, The Director is highly intelligent, Manipulative, and technologically savvy. Along with his accomplices, The Director never physically harms anyone. He is a showman and ideologue, never showing his face and driving home philosophical quandaries to the victims in a showman-like manner.
A major player in The Directors plans, Dollface channels her own past trauma through the manipulation of others with her seemingly innocent demeanor. She is similar to The Director in her intellect and observations to find ways to manipulate potential victims into a false sense of security before finding a way to incapacitate them. This manipulation expresses itself as either physical or emotional harm. Stunt or Fight Choreography training or experience for this role is a plus.
Gas Mask (real name Unknown) is always nearby and a haunting presence. With his face always covered by a Gas Mask, he is the main grunt of the operation run by The Director, much like a prison guard. A scrappy and quick-tempered fiend, he follows orders and exacts his brutality at the behest and orchestration of The Director.
