Black Women Needed for Visually Stunning Silent Short Film — LA
Beef, Please is a dialogue-free short film about a bride-to-be who refuses to shrink herself at her own bridal brunch. Equal parts physical comedy and quiet power, the film follows ANGEL, who navigates a power struggle with MARLENE, a mother who never learned to let go. This is a visually driven, festival-bound project. We are shooting on location in Los Angeles. This is an unpaid student short film. Actors will receive footage for their reel. We are looking for strong physical performers who can say everything without saying a word.
