CASTING 6 Actors (19–25) Wanted for an Upcoming Psychological Horror Feature

Hi everyone! I’m a young filmmaker currently developing my first feature film, and I’m looking for six actors aged approximately 19–25 for the main cast.
I want to be completely transparent about the current stage of the project: the film is still in development and is not yet fully financed or in production. The script is complete, and I’ve already been in contact with producers who have expressed interest in potentially collaborating on the project. Having a preliminary cast list or interested talent would help strengthen the project as we move toward financing and production.
The film will most likely be shot in Italy. If the project moves into production, selected cast members will be paid, and travel and accommodation in Italy will be covered by the production, subject to final financing and production arrangements.
About the film
It’s a psychological horror feature inspired by real local legends, folklore and traditions.
The story follows a group of young people who become caught in a disturbing situation where reality and nightmares begin to blur.
The film will be in English, so applicants must be native English speakers or fluent English speakers with the ability to perform naturally and convincingly in English.
Roles
3 Male Actors
1 Lead role
2 Supporting roles
3 Female Actors
1 Lead role
2 Antagonist roles
One of the antagonist characters is canonically a natural redhead, so natural red-haired actresses are especially encouraged to apply.
I’m not necessarily looking for actors with extensive professional experience. No particular level of experience is required, I’m primarily looking for people who are talented, serious, reliable and professional.
At this stage, no casting decisions have been made and no actors are attached to the project. This is an initial casting search intended to discover potential talent and build a preliminary shortlist while the film is still in development.
If you’d like to know more about the project, the roles, or its current status, feel free to message me privately.
If you’d like to be considered, please send:
Headshot / recent photo
Acting resume/CV, if available
Demo reel, if available
Age
Current location
A brief introduction about yourself
to:
casting.itsjustadream@g***l.com
Please also mention whether you would be available to travel to Italy if the film enters production.
Thank you for reading. I’m looking forward to discovering some new talent!

Horror writer/director looking to connect with filmmakers worldwide

Hi everyone!
I’m a 20-year-old writer/director currently developing my first feature film.
I’ve completed the screenplay for my psychological horror project (98 pages), inspired by Italian folklore and ancient legends, and I’ve also created a pitch deck that presents the story, atmosphere, and vision behind the film.
My main goal right now is to connect with producers and industry professionals who might be interested in original horror projects and international collaborations.
At the same time, I’m looking to build a network with other emerging filmmakers, writers, and creatives from around the world who are in a similar stage of their journey. I think connecting with people who are trying to break into the industry can be valuable for exchanging experiences, feedback, and opportunities.
If you’re a filmmaker, writer, producer, or someone interested in these kinds of projects, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to share my pitch deck and hear your thoughts.
Looking forward to meeting other passionate creatives!

Looking for advice on producing an independent horror feature

Hi everyone,
I’m an Italian writer and director currently developing my first feature-length horror film.
The screenplay is complete (98 pages) and is currently being revised before I begin pitching it professionally. At the moment, the script is written in Italian, while the English translation is in progress, as my intention is to produce the film primarily in English for an international audience.
The project is a psychological horror feature set in Italy, built around mystery, folklore and suspense, with a contained budget (roughly €500k–€1M) and little to no VFX needed.
My goal is to find the right production partner rather than simply sending the script to random companies. I’m especially interested in connecting with producers, development executives or filmmakers who have experience with independent horror features.
I’m not looking for crowdfunding or public funding. At this stage, I’m mainly looking for advice, industry contacts, and insight into the best way to approach producers who actively finance original genre films.
If you’ve been through this process, worked in development, or know producers who are open to first-time writer/directors, I’d really appreciate your advice.
Thank you!
