ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking cast to portray roles in "Golden Hour" film. Please, see the details below. About the project: After Lin Pei, a young woman, dies in a car accident, a silent visitor arrives at her apartment, a reaper tasked with recording her life before her soul fades completely. Guided by Lin Pei's old journal, he begins to piece together her story, slowly stepping into her world through the scattered traces of everyday life. Lin Pei had always been creating. She worked in a restaurant by night, painted by day, and sent her artwork to publishers, one envelope at a time. Even though she was rejected again and again, she still wants to try once more. She saved coins in a glass jar, hoping to visit her mother someday. But reality was unkind. When she finally made the trip, she discovered her mother had already built a new family. At that moment, she realized: some people won't wait for you. So, she walked home alone, convinced the world had left her behind. But then, she saw a sunset. The world didn't answer her, but it didn't withhold its light either. She stood in the glow for a long time, tears quietly drying. From that moment, she began to live again. Her art changed. Color returned to her walls. Light returned to her room. Quietly, without fanfare, she sent out another submission. This time, someone saw her. "Golden Hour" is a short film about whether a life is still worth remembering without applause or legacy. And to answer that, this film draws the concept: Maybe being remembered doesn't require greatness. Maybe a life is worth honoring simply because it was lived. Rate: Non union. This is a volunteer-based project, IMDB credit and food will be provided. Additional information: Shoot/Performance Date(s) April 28 to May 1. Shoot/Performance Location(s) Vancouver. Submission Deadline April 25, 2026. When applying, please submit your head shot, resume and optional demo reel.
