Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking cast for "SCROLL" is a one-and-a-half page digital horro/social awareness/dark comedy short film. More details are below. About the Project: The story follows a young couple sitting on a park bench, holding hands while absorbed in their phones. There are no kisses or intimate scenes — the only physical contact is holding hands. The film relies on physicality, expressions, and atmosphere rather than dialogue. At its core, the film is a critique of how dependent, distracted, and foolish we’ve become with social media. The couple’s obsession blinds them to reality, until a supernatural force intervenes and reduces them to digital ashes, swallowed by the very scroll they cannot escape. Rate: Non-union. $50 each. Additional information: Location: Edmonton – South Side. Shoot Date: September 20/21 (afternoon). Comfortable acting without dialogue - there are no lines Strong use of expression and physicality Ability to shift from subtle comedy to fear and panic. Must be available in Edmonton (South Side) on the afternoon of September 20 or 21 (exact date to be determined). When applying, please submit the following: Resume (PDF preferred) Reel or links to previous work (self-tapes accepted) Brief note on relevant experience Selected actors will be contacted for self-tapes/callbacks.
