My name is Sam Voulon, and I'm a graduating audiovisual specialist at KW1C. For my final exam, I was assigned to film a specific poem in a dramatic context, and for this, I developed a vision surrounding an institutionalized ex-convict.

For this short film, it's essential that the protagonist be mature due to the length of time they may have spent in prison. That's why I'm searching far and wide for someone who could potentially fill this role.

The role has no dialogue, as the poem is added later over the material. The actor could narrate it, but this isn't necessary.

The poem:
Time - Vassalis

I dreamed that I lived slowly... slower than the oldest stone.

It was terrible: everything around me shot up, shook or trembled, even though it seemed still.

I saw the urge with which the trees struggled from the earth as they sang hoarsely and haltingly; while the seasons flew by, changing color like rainbows...

I saw the tremor of the sea, its swelling and then hastily shrinking, as a great throat might drink.

And day and night of short duration flames and extinguishes: flickering fire. -

The desperation and eloquence in the gestures of things that are otherwise rigid, and their urgency, their breathless, cruel struggle…

How could I not have known this before, not have seen it better in the past?

How can I ever forget it again?


Since this is my final exam, the teachers are naturally trying to give us a huge challenge. This time, they're setting a very short timeframe for the entire production (16 days). Therefore, I'm looking for an actor or actress for the lead role at very short notice.

What do we offer?
A unique, subjective acting experience with room for your own input. You'll star in a truly unique setting: the former Oranjehotel prison. A chance to be shown in a cinema.

Description
For the exam, I'm looking for a mature man or woman who has time next week to act. This will likely be spread over two days (each about two hours, I expect), as there are two locations. The main character has served a long prison sentence and can't cope with the overwhelming outside world upon their release.
