Looking for actors to self-tape a role in a short noir diner scene (90 sec max)
I wrote a short, tense scene and I'm looking for a few actors to record a role in it.
No pay, it's a passion project, but perhaps you can use it on social, etc.
The scene "Booth Nine": 2:14 A.M., a half-dead diner, rain on the glass. Danny signed
a contract he never should have, and Vera is here to collect. She's not in a hurry.
Neither is the night. Then Marisol, the waitress, drifts over with a coffee pot and no
idea what she's walked into.
Roles (pick one):
• DANNY: M, 20s–30s. Wired, three coffees deep, out of road. Desperate, still bargaining.
• VERA: F, 40s+. Unhurried menace. The calm of someone who's never once been late.
Never raises her voice.
• MARISOL: F, 50s–60s. Warm, funny, gloriously oblivious - the comic air in a scene
that's holding its breath.
Recording takes a few minutes (webcam or audio-only, your call) and your read will get edited into the full scene with the other roles.
Comment or DM me and I'll send you the sides + where to record. Happy to read for your
stuff in return. Thanks!
