a young woman taking her daily jog through her local park trails for exercise when she encounters a vicious entity stalking her and trapping her in the woods. This is the lead role and requires someone who can portray a dynamic range of emotions.
Maddie goes through many emotions from frantically running, pain, injury, crying, hopelessness. Need someone who can really dig into this emotional role and express all of these emotions because that will connect with the audience and make the distress and panic she is experiencing feel authentic and real to viewers.
Required Media: Headshot/Photo, Video Reel, Cover Letter
the lead antagonist of the short film. Creepy is an entity that traps living people and transports them into its world. In this world, the entity stalks the person by playing with them with clown-like humor and games. The entity also looks to torture or kill the trapped person by inflicting pain on them by setting up traps in the environment for its prey to run into while it stalks and follows them. The role has one paragraph of lines but that will be used in a voiceover and not acted out on camera. The character also wears a mask and clown-like costume.
Production states: "Looking for someone with distinct features to make this character seem otherworldly. Not looking for a specific height or weight but someone who can provide something unique to the character. Whether that be a person who is very tall and lanky giving a Slenderman vibe, or someone who is flexible like a contortionist, or dancer who can crab walk upside like someone possessed by a demon. Can also be someone with a large and bulky build much like Leatherface in the 2003 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake.' Looking for both male and females for the role. Open to many interpretations on the character and someone who can provide their unique skill set or look to the role."
