(auto-translated from Dutch Dutch)
Sten is standing outside an office building handing out hugs with a “FREE HUGS” sign, but actually, he doesn't feel entirely comfortable with these hugs.
His real goal is to give a hug to someone who works in the office he has a crush on. Meanwhile, he is being ridiculed by Corporal Sil, who thinks Sten is wasting his time.
Out of stubbornness, Sten stays there longer than he initially wanted, and over the span of a few days, we see that Sil and Sten both realize the value of the cuddle and become good friends.
This comedic/loving short film (5 min.) is about how we have lost our physical contact and how you can restore it (by making yourself vulnerable).
We are three motivated first-year film students at HKU. This film was commissioned for our program.
What we offer
Because this is a student project, there will unfortunately be no compensation. However, we can arrange lunch and dinner for you, and with this project, we naturally provide you with professional visual material to use in your portfolio.
Type
Student production
Location
Amsterdam (Zuidas)
Description
We are looking for two male actors aged 25 or older (or looking older) to play the roles of Sten and Sil.
Registering in pairs would be appreciated but is not mandatory.
Sten has a scruffy look in relation to the office grounds around him. He has a closed-off demeanor, but tries to present himself as open.
Sil, on the other hand, has a sleeker look that fits his surroundings. He ridicules Sten but actually longs very much for contact himself.
Both men begin with a small battle in which they awkwardly try to defend their image, which eventually develops into a friendship. Body language plays a very important role in this.
Furthermore, you need to be comfortable acting in public (we are filming outside on the street in the Zuidas and, for one shot, also in the entrance of an office building).
Period
The filming day is on Saturday, October 17, during the day.
