3 roles
LEAD - (2 DAYS) Pay: $50, paid at wrap Mr. Otto is withdrawn, tired, guarded, and initially resistant to connection. He carries a hard exterior and doesn't easily let people into his life. Throughout the film, that shell slowly begins to break as Tristan's kindness reaches him. Looking for an actor who can communicate heavily through facial expression, body language, and subtle changes in emotion. Otto's vulnerability should feel earned and restrained rather than overly dramatic.
SUPPORTING - (2 DAYS) Pay: $50, paid at wrap Tristian is energetic, warm, funny, and genuinely kind. He is the type of person who notices someone sitting alone and chooses to sit beside them. His positivity should feel effortless and sincere. While there is more happening underneath the surface, the audience should not immediately see the struggle behind his kindness.
DAY PLAYER - (1 DAY) Pay: $25, paid at wrap Lucas is quiet, disheveled, and visibly carrying something heavy. He appears briefly near the end of the film and serves as an important reflection of where Mr. Otto began. This is primarily a nonverbal role. Strong facial acting and natural screen presence are important.
