Proof of Concept Short Film "The Things We Carry" Seeks Cast

Recently separated and trying to rebuild his life, Byron is intelligent, guarded, dryly funny, and carrying more emotional baggage than he lets on. Beneath his calm exterior is a lifetime of secrets and experiences he desperately wants to leave behind. Looking for an actor who can balance natural charm, vulnerability, subtle humor, and emotional depth. This role requires carrying much of the film’s dramatic and supernatural tension.

A murder-tour guide with a sharp wit, gothic style, and a habit of saying exactly what she’s thinking. Emma is confident, curious, empathetic, and impossible to intimidate. When confronted with something terrifying, her instinct is to move closer rather than run away. Looking for an actor with strong comedic timing, natural charisma, and the ability to transition from playful banter to genuine fear and emotional connection.

A restless spirit trapped in the worst moments of her life. Terrified, angry, and desperately searching for something she has lost, Siobhan exists between victim and threat. Much of the role is physical performance, emotional expression, and screen presence rather than extensive dialogue. Looking for an actor comfortable with horror, physical acting, and conveying powerful emotion through movement, expression, and presence.
