Short Film "Two Cops and a Torso"

Lead. Two faces: outwardly a calm, warm, caring policeman commanding a room; inwardly jaded, sardonic, burned out, reciting forgotten protocols. Circular, flat delivery. Comedic timing essential.

Lead. Outwardly crude, impatient, unwilling to interact; privately thrives on dark, morbid fascination. Needs range from playful, gleeful glee over grotesque material to cold, still, silent loathing.

Lead. Refuses to sit still within shock and grief; warm, communal, caring instinct. Arc moves from distress to domestic warmth, then quiet defiance, ending in devastating refusal.

Supporting. Kind-faced and warm, yet subtly off, as if something is happening to him that he's powerless to stop — unease beneath gentleness, never overplayed.
