"Butterfly Makes a Wish"
An abstract short film about Sage, a lonely girl wandering through life, both figuratively and literally. She goes to the woods to perform a ritual to grant her wish of ending her loneliness. She wants to snap her fingers and solve all her problems, but her wish isn't granted in the way she expects. Instead, a spirit comes to guide her. Not to give her all the answers or an easy solution, but to give her a push in the right direction. The girl is resistant at first, but eventually the spirit gets through to her. There will be two days of filming. First in mid to late May, and will be outside so it requires good weather. I know that's very short notice but the characters don't talk until towards the end of the short so there are no lines to learn for the first day! Second day is inside and will be filmed end of May or early June. There is no specific audition material, just let me know your availability and we can schedule a call!
1 role
The spirit is there to guide Sage, but she has her own arc as well. At first, she comes across to Sage very mysterious and hard to read, but internally she's just there to do her job. But after a while, she starts to care for this girl she's here to guide, and at the end the spirit finally speaks to Sage directly in an emotional scene that closes the short. The spirit takes multiple forms throughout the short, which gives a variety of challenges and standout moments.
