South Asian Actors, 25-35, for major supporting role in a short film in Switzerland
Casting Overview
“Sache Gits” this short film tells the story of Janosch, a quiet drug dealer who wanders through Zurich’s nightlife with a pizza box. In a world full of superficiality, excess and loneliness, he meets Saskia, a call girl leading a double life. A quiet, honest connection develops between them. The script highlights the contrast between consumerism and genuine closeness – with subtle humour, a socially critical undertone, and poetic melancholy. An urban portrait of the lost in a sparkling, cold city.
Casting dates: 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th of July 2025.
Filming: 2 shooting days (on weekends) between 26th September and 26th October 2025.
Roles
Requirements:
South Asian (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh or similar), speaking English with an Indian accent.
Short description: Manesh is an engineer type with strong self-confidence who takes up a lot of space in social settings. He’s slightly unaware of the social dynamics in the room, and his boldness comes across as courageous, intrusive, and a bit uncomfortable.
NB: The short film is primarily in Swiss German, with some scenes featuring a lot of English dialogue. While German/Swiss German is helpful during the production process, the role itself requires no knowledge of German.
