Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Looking for cast for a short film "Murphy". Please, see the details below. About the project: Laurie and Murphy are the greatest of friends. They have been since they were seven-they even live together now. When Laurie is superstitious about an upcoming audition, Murphy is perfectly reassuring. When Laurie wants to keep a secret about a crush, Murphy doesn't prod. Slowly, however, Murphy's reassurances seem to magically provoke opposite scenarios. As Laurie struggles with coincidence, she resorts to managing failure the only way her superstition permits; by praying that all the bad will inversely and eventually, make her a better writer. Rate: Non-union/unpaid, meals and transportation will be provided. Additional information: Shoot dates: Sept. 27-30, 2025. Locations: MTL area - TBC. When applying, please submit a head shot, CV & demo reel.

3 roles

LaurieFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Superstitious yet sure of herself, Laurie is a mediocre actress trying to use her auditions as networking opportunities. As an aspiring writer and believer in fate, she self-mythologizes her bad luck.

Murphy/womanFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Unaware of her powers both real and surreal, Murphy is Laurie's grounded, cool, and extremely caring confidante.

OliverMale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Laurie's crush. Tall and disheveled. Total lack of magic.
