Non-Union student short film shooting late August in the Charlottesville area. No travel/transport/housing provided. Unpaid, but access to the film for reels + submission of the film to festivals is provided.

Logline: Kieran, a young man grappling with the recent death of a family member, finds himself struggling to navigate his grief after the funeral. While coming to terms with his own feelings, he must also bear his father’s anger and his sister’s innocence, hoping to somehow find a way to cope with the overwhelming loss.

Father (40s-50s)(open to all ethnicities): Kieran’s father is a volatile and angry man, especially when drunk. His eyes are bloodshot, and he often lashes out at Kieran, blaming him for not helping more. He is a complex character, struggling with his own grief and expressing it through anger and frustration.

Soraya (6-10)(open to all ethnicities): Kieran’s little sister, Soraya, is an innocent and naïve young girl. She clutches her teddy bear and looks up to Kieran for comfort. Soraya does not fully understand the permanence of death and believes her brother will return, adding to the emotional weight of the scene.
