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!

Casting Call for short film.

Hello everyone!

I’m just about finished developing a short WLW (women-loving-women) film screenplay and am currently moving into the casting/production stage. I’m primarily a writer/director and have very little acting experience myself, so rather than starring in my own film, my team and I are looking for actors who are interested in helping bring this story to life.

I’m looking for aspiring or established actors between the ages of 20–35 of all experience levels who would be willing to entertain the idea of starring in a small, indie independently produced film that may appear at a film festival. At this stage, compensation will be limited, and I want to be completely transparent about that. The primary things I can offer are a finished film for your portfolio, exposure, creative experience, and the opportunity to work with a small team that genuinely cares about a project.

If you’re someone who loves acting, filmmaking, or simply wants to gain experience and be part of something creative, we’d love to hear from you.

The Story: On the way to say goodbye to one of the most important people in her life, a grieving woman unexpectedly meets someone who reminds her that she hasn’t lost her ability to say hello to someone new.

Alternatively*: During a drive, two people learn and explore the meaning of life, both traveling toward the same destination for completely different reasons — one toward an ending, the other toward a beginning.*

We are currently based in USA Central America, so travel may be necessary. We are also locating to LA for a short period of time during shooting. No travel is required there.

We plan to start a GoFundMe/crowdfunding campaign along with the funds we currently have to help cover travel and production-related expenses for selected cast members. However, I want to be upfront that traveling internationally may still be a significant commitment. Though, we are prepared to take the brunt force of the cost! If traveling to the filming location isn’t realistic for you, we completely understand.

The casting process will be almost entirely virtual and will consist of three phases before filming. Actors of all races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experience levels are encouraged to reach out!

1 Initial Submission
You’ll submit a short acting tape/portfolio to a secure email. This can include: A monologue, An emotional scene, A scene from another project, Or another personal demonstration of your acting ability. The submission should be between 2–7 minutes.

Along with your tape, you’ll also provide your preferences and boundaries regarding what you are and are not comfortable filming. There is no explicit sexual content in this film. There is a brief kiss scene and some implied intimacy between characters, but intimacy itself is not depicted on screen.

2 Character Audition
After the initial submissions are reviewed, selected actors will receive a character breakdown along with approximately 2+ minutes of dialogue/screenplay material.

This stage will give you the opportunity to act specifically as the character you’re auditioning for and show your interpretation of the material. You’ll also have the opportunity to tell us more about yourself, your creative interests, and anything you feel you could bring to the character. I want actors to have room to make the character their own, rather than simply reading exactly what is written on the page.

3 Meet the team
This is where you will meet cast members and crew in a secure videoconference. We will also be upfront about the individuals receiving your work and if you prefer that route you may audition to a crew member LIVE via videoconference. We already have a team working on areas such as: Makeup, Lighting , Sound, Camera etc. You will get to meet them all.

Even if you’re relatively new to acting, please don’t be afraid to reach out. This is an independent project, and I’m much more interested in your ability to connect with the material, collaborate, and bring something genuine to a character than simply how long your résumé is.

PSA: This is a collaborative project. You’ll be working alongside other actors, directors, and crew members, so communication and teamwork are extremely important.

We’re looking for people who are: Punctual and dependable. Comfortable collaborating with others Creative and willing to experiment. Respectful of boundaries. Open to feedback. Final, Passionate about filmmaking and/or acting!!

We want to create an environment where everyone feels respected, heard, and comfortable being creative**.**

If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, PM me or comment with your email! In the Email or PM please include:

Name:
Age:
General Location aka State
Best way to contact you: # or email
A bit about yourself if wanted
Acting clips/portfolio (if available) the relate to phase 1

If you’re ready, feel free to send an acting clip that could be useful for Phase 1 of the casting process.

I’m really hoping to find people who are excited about the story and want to help make it something real!!

UK actors needed urgently

Actors needed for a production of a new one act play staged on the 5th September at the Etcetera theatre Camden on September 5th.

Context: I'm a comedian who was supposed to be putting on a sketch comedy show on this venue at this date, but the other half of my double act has had to cancel, but I am unable to get any of my money back. In order to try and not lose the entire payment, I am attempting to stage a one-act single location 3 character comedy play I wrote about a year ago for an am-dram group.

Title: The Frost Report

Description: The interpersonal tension between 3 Antarctic researchers reaches a boiling point when meteorological disaster coincides with personal revelation.

Roles: John (stage age 40+, think Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers), Peter (stage age 20-30, think Moss from the IT Crowd), and Bob (stage age 20-30, think Baldrick from Blackadder)

Availability: semi-regular availability until September 5th for rehearsals in London (location and exact TBD once a cast is assembled)

Payment: 20% stake in any profit made, but due to slim profit margins essentially un-paid.

DM for script. Response required by 18/8/26

Looking for voice acting roles!

Hi, my name is Harper, and I'm 18 years old! I'm biologically a female but I'm Non-binary and I was wondering if there's any roles I can join in for any show/game. Also, I don't have a mic or anything, it's just my phone and Capcut. I don't mind if I'm getting paid or not, I just want to have more experience with voice acting because it's also something I want to do besides being an artist. I can do a Jennifer Coolidge impression and I try to do some accents. Here's a little video collage of the recent voiceover roles I did this summer! Just ask for my discord in DMs and that's all I have to post about, bye!

I wish I were joking: Where can I hire a fake boyfriend?

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I’m genuinely looking for advice. I’m graduating from college soon and somehow I’ve made it this far without ever having a boyfriend. My parents have been on my case about it for years, and with graduation coming up they’re making the fact that I have no boyfriend a bigger deal out of it than it should. I’ve tried talking to guys at school, I’ve been on dating apps, and I honestly gave it a shot, but nothing ever turned into a real relationship.
At this point, I’m kind of desperate just to get them off my back. I know it sounds weird, but I’ve actually been wondering if it’s possible to hire someone to pretend to be my boyfriend for a day. Nothing inappropriate or crazy, just like someone normal who could meet my family, be friendly, and make it believable so they’ll finally stop asking me about my love life.
I know this might sound shallow, but if I’m going to do this, I’d ideally want someone who’s around 25–28, at least 6’1”, in good shape, and generally good looking. Basically someone who looks like someone I’d realistically be dating since I am on the taller side for a woman and I am relatively attractive ☠️
Does anyone know where people even find someone for something like this? Is there a legitimate service, or are there other options besides just hoping to find someone on a dating app who’s willing to do it? I’d really rather avoid anyone creepy or sketchy.
Please be nice,
I already know this is a weird question. I’m just tired of my parents making me feel like I’m failing at life because I’m single.

I don’t have any underlying issues with my parents, it’s just that they’re on the older side and theyre also immigrants and they’re just concerned for me. After I graduate, I’ll be moving out of the country so I just wanted to get this thing that they have about me having a boyfriend out of the way. I have a job so I pay for my own things. I am in Texas btw.

PAID COSPLAY - Gamescom Cologne, Aug 27-29: €250/day + free Gamescom pass for on/off-camera cosplay talent

Paid cosplay/on-camera role at Gamescom 2026 - Cologne, Aug 27–29

Hi all! Our marketing agency is looking for TWO x 6 foot (for taller) tall individuals to wear a provided costume at Gamescom this year to interact with attendees and hand out merch.

You do not need to make or own a costume - We provide the full outfit and props. What we need is someone comfortable being in costume, in front of a camera, and around a lot of people for three days.

Details:

  • Where: Koelnmesse, Cologne
  • When:
    • Thursday, Aug 27 - 9:30 to 17:00
    • Friday, Aug 28 - 9:30 to 17:00
    • Saturday, Aug 29 - 8:30 to 17:00
  • Pay: €250 per day (€750 total for all three days), paid after the show
  • Also included: a free Gamescom pass for the full show, plus a paid meal break each day
  • What you'll be doing: wearing the costume near the entrance hall & cosplay areas, posing for photos with attendees, and appearing in short video clips we film throughout the show, handing out provided swag.

Where the footage goes:

Organic social media only - our social media channels and the developer's channels (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X). No paid advertising, no print, no billboards.

Who we're looking for:

  • Someone who can act stern/menacing all day without breaking character.
  • Able to get to Cologne on your own for all three days.
  • Comfortable in costume and some makeup for a full show day - this is genuinely tiring, and Gamescom halls get hot.
  • Outgoing with strangers and confident on camera.
  • English will be necessary for most interactions (German is a huge plus)
  • 18+ (with the ability to sign a simple freelance agreement)
  • Previous cosplay or promo experience is a plus, but honestly not required - enthusiasm and stamina matter more.

How to apply:

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/Aip4vpgDKmF7PRJP9

The legal setup

This is a freelance engagement, not employment. Specifically:

  • You're already registered as self-employed in Germany (freiberuflich or gewerblich) and have a Steuernummer.
  • You invoice us for your fee after the show.
  • You're responsible for your own income tax and social contributions — we don't withhold anything on your behalf.

We want to be clear that we're not trying to create a false self-employment situation, so we're specifically looking for people who already freelance and work for other clients too. There'll be a short written contract before the show covering all of it.
