Casting Overview
Roles
LEAD ROLE: GUIDO
male, playing age 16, speaking fluent Italian (all dialogue is in Italian) and English for communication on set (the director is American and does not speak Italian). Able to play basketball convincingly. Comfortable with improvised, handheld, run-and-gun shooting.
About Guido: The boy whose summer this is. Watchful and interior, he spends his days at the court and is quietly fixated on Francesca, reading her every mood as a reflection of himself. The film is told entirely from inside his point of view and he appears in nearly every scene. Looking for naturalness and a face the camera can stay on. Plays basketball.
To apply, please send:
A showreel link and /or a short self-tape — a few lines in Italian and a few in English (monologue or improvisation is fine)
A headshot and CV
A brief clip of you playing basketball

LEAD ROLE: FRANCESCA
female, playing age 16, speaking fluent Italian (all dialogue is in Italian) and English for communication on set (the director is American and does not speak Italian). Beginner actors welcome.
About Francesca: Warm, alive and easy in the early summer; as the season turns she grows quieter and more withdrawn. We only ever see her from the outside, through Guido's eyes. The role is built from small behavioural shifts rather than large emotional playing — naturalness and ease on camera matter far more than technique.

SUPPORTING ROLE: JULIA
female, playing age 16, speaking fluent Italian (all dialogue is in Italian) and English for communication on set (the director is American and does not speak Italian). Beginner actors welcome.
About Julia: She is part of the core group and close to Francesca. Bright and at home among her friends, with a thread of her own that turns quietly inward by summer's end.

LEAD ROLE: LUCA
male, playing age 30–35, speaking fluent Italian (all dialogue is in Italian) and English for communication on set (the director is American and does not speak Italian).
About Luca: An older newcomer who drifts onto the court one summer and is quickly welcomed by a group of local teenagers. Charming, generous with his attention, easy in his body — magnetic without appearing to try. He anchors the film opposite non-professional young actors. We're looking for a grounded, characterful presence, someone compelling in stillness, rather than a conventional leading-man look.
