Casting Overview

For our short film ‘Dreamworld’. 

Synopsis:
Ted is a young man who suffered major burning scars from a fire accident many years ago. Ever since he got his scars, he is afraid to be outside amongst people as they often stare and even bully him. Ted works at a pizza place where every Friday a girl calls to order pizza. The conversation he has on the phone with her is the only real social interaction he has in his day to day life. One day on his way home, a man follows him to the bus station and gives him a business card. He claims to be able to solve Ted’s problem. Ted researches the company and comes across pills that allow one to travel into a dream where everything is perfect. Ted decides to take a pill and travels into a dream where his scars have disappeared. In this dream, he meets a girl and for the first time, he is not judged by his looks. Time runs out and Ted wakes back up in reality. He goes back to work and sees the same girl from his dream. He realizes that she also has burning scars and that she traveled into the dream world just like he did. Both decide not to run away from their problems anymore and stay in the real world.
