"Film Verite" Production Needs Actors
The company is holding auditions for "Film Verite" - By Charlie Smith and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: A tongue-in-cheek, film-noir-inspired comedy where everything is serious… except the stakes. When a priceless bejeweled pickle goes missing, two sisters—one clearly evil, one possibly not—are drawn into a convoluted mystery involving a hard-boiled private detective, a tight-lipped butler, a sassy family matriarch, and a posthumous wildcard: a dying patriarch whose recorded last will and testament may hold the key to everything. Shot through with green-tinted absurdity, shifting allegiances, and classic noir tropes, the question remains—which sister was the pickle meant for?
6 roles
The Evil Sister. Sharp, calculating, and dripping with noir femme-fatale energy. She insists the bejeweled pickles were meant for her—and honestly, she kind of makes a convincing case.
The Good Sister. More grounded and seemingly sincere, though still tangled in family drama. She may be innocent… or just better at hiding it.
A classic hard-boiled noir detective who treats the case of the missing pickle with absolute, dead-serious gravitas. World-weary, suspicious of everyone, and committed to uncovering the truth—even if it’s ridiculous.
The Butler. Reserved, loyal, and impeccably professional. Knows far more than he lets on and delivers information sparingly, if at all.
The Sassy Matriarch. A bold, sharp-tongued elder who has seen everything and is not impressed. She cuts through the nonsense with wit, sarcasm, and impeccable timing.
The Patriarch (Think General Sternwood from The Big Sleep.) Frail, wealthy, and melodramatically looming over the story despite being already deceased. He appears only via a pre-recorded last will and testament, in which he reveals he left the bejeweled pickles to one of the sisters—but frustratingly never specifies which. His presence drives the mystery, fuels suspicion, and sets the entire absurd plot in motion
