Marion

Marion is the lead actress who finds herself in deep trouble, leading her to regret walking alone in the dark.

She has no dialogue as the film is being short in black and white, 1940s film noir style. If you have any 1940's style clothing including a long coat, preferably beige, that would be a bonus. Otherwise our wardrobe department will sort out the costume.

Females, aged 30 to 40 from Manchester, United Kingdom

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

The Caller

The Caller is a controlling voice who threatens people into doing his bidding.

This part is voice-over only, though his present is felt and nearly seen at times. It would be useful to have the actor on set to be filmed in the background but it is not necessary if you would prefer us to use a stand-in.
Otherwise this role requires one afternoon in our sound booth. We welcome all accents.

Males, aged 30 to 50 from Manchester, United Kingdom

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

Crane

Crane is the lead actor, trapped into carrying out another man's bidding to cover his own back.

He has no dialogue as the film is being short in black and white, 1940s film noir style. If you have any 1940's style clothing including a long coat and hat, that would be a bonus. Otherwise our wardrobe department will sort out the costume.
