NL-based actors (m/f) 18-23, for short film in Amsterdam
Casting Overview
No budget short film titled "A Different Day".
Genre: Existential Comedy / Psychological Sci-fi
Logline: When Giulio, a film student, wakes up in a strangers body, he's thrown into a chaotic spiral of shifting realities in his own life, where his friends become unrecognisable, but to them, it is as if nothing's changed, and even his own film turns against him. The only way out is to face the truth he's been avoiding all along: himself.
Synopsis: Giulio is stuck in the repetition of a mundane day: school, home, repeat. But things change when one morning he wakes up in a different body, still as himself. Despite his friends treating him as if nothing's changed he panics. As each days goes by, weirder things keep happening, his reality shifts even more, to the point where his friends are different too, but they don't know it. As Giulio spirals further into his identity crisis, he confronts his creating burnout. The story climaxes in a drunken, reality shaken part where he meets multiple versions of himself, ultimately realising the chaos is a reflection of his inner state.
*All the characters needed are the alternative versions of Giulio and his friends.
