Description
For the graduation film 'The Singing Deliveryman', we are looking for actors who can combine subtle acting with a sense of absurdity and timing. The film balances realism and dark humor, so we are looking for actors who remain believable, even in alienating situations.
KOEN (20) – lead role
(All shooting days required + rehearsal days)
A cheerful, well-meaning food delivery driver with an almost childlike lightness. Koen sings along to his music, makes contact easily, and doesn't seem to really worry about anything.
What makes him special is his reaction (or rather, the lack thereof) to extreme situations. Where others would panic, Koen adapts quickly and carries on as if he had simply been given a new, strange task.
We are looking for an actor who:
- plays naturally and credibly
- has subtlety in acting (small reactions, little “big” acting)
- has a sense of dry/comedic timing
WOMAN IN APARTMENT (late 20s – early 30s)
(2 shooting days needed, May 26 and 27 + rehearsal days)
Energetic, charming, and slightly chaotic. She appears in an elegant cocktail dress, but her energy feels rushed and restless. She speaks fast, thinks out loud, and jumps from one thought to the next. Her presence immediately fills the room.
We are looking for an actress who:
- can bring a lot of energy and speed to the game
- can combine charm and suspense
- can set a slightly unpredictable vibe
MAN IN FLAT (± 30)
(2 shooting days needed, May 26 and 27 + rehearsal days)
Exudes control, calm, and mental strength. Even in an extreme situation, he remains focused and goal-oriented.
His actions are never hysterical; everything feels calculated and instinctive at the same time. In his final moments, we see a small, fragile crack in his facade.
We are looking for an actor who:
- has a strong, restrained presence
- can build tension with minimal means
- both control and vulnerability can play a role
SNACK BAR / KWALITARIA MAN
(1 filming day needed, May 25)
A distant, almost impersonal extra. He says little, but when he speaks, it is direct and slightly threatening. His presence feels like part of something larger and intangible.
We are looking for an actor who:
- can make an impact with little text
- can create a menacing, mysterious atmosphere
- attitude strong commitment
