CASTING CALL!
Premise:
“It’s the night before MAY’S frst big fashion show. As she sews and stitches the finishing touches, her friend and model arrives as they sing and dance through their hopes and fears of tomorrow.”
Roles:
May and Emma, both women in their early-mid 20s.
MAY is a fashion design student preparing a dress for her first big fashion show. She is introverted, and has always felt more comfortable in designing her outfits for others rather than wearing them herself. Despite that, her work is how she best expresses herself to the world.
EMMA is a fellow student and model. As May’s best friend, she was always the obvious choice to debut this outfit at the show. She is more outgoing, vibrant, and excited about the challenges that each day brings. Part of Emma does wonder how much of their friendship is based around their connection, or their mutual need for each other.
Details:
The short film features an original musical number. Previous singing experience is essential, previous acting and dancing experience would be desirable. We will be filming this ‘proof of concept’ short film in November. If the production of this short is successful, then we would be particularly interested in the cast reprising their roles in a longer short film in Early 2026. This will be a final year student film project at Sheffield Hallam University, and will be filmed on campus and locally around the city. This is an unpaid opportunity to act in a student film but we will cover reasonable expenses such as transport and food.
