Greetings. My name is Chad Hamel, writer/director/producer on the currently untitled "Untitled Subtitled Film". We are prepping to shoot the film in one day on January 4th in Lakeland, FL (location TBD). I am seeking two actors who are willing to lean into both absurdism and gravitas.
This is a non-paid set. However, meals will be provided, and all cast/crew members will be receiving IMDb credits.
If you are interested in either role listed below, please record and email a dramatic monologue of your choosing and, if applicable, a reel of your previous work to chadhamelfilmmaking@gmail.com. Looking forward to all submissions!
SYNOPSIS: A young woman cares for her grandfather, whose mind is slipping into paranoia and delusion. As reality blurs, their bond is tested by guilt, frustration, and fleeting moments of connection. Told through absurdist visuals and dialogue, the film explores the struggle to communicate across the chasm of memory and identity.
SERGIO:
Age: 70-80
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Open
A frail, haunted man grappling with memory loss and paranoia. Once sharp and witty, now frightened and stubborn, Sergio oscillates between tender vulnerability and explosive confusion. Requires a strong actor who can convey deep emotion through subtle physicality and expressions.
VALERIA
Age: 20-30
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Open
Sergio’s resilient, compassionate granddaughter, caught between love and frustration. Valeria is resourceful and empathetic, but her youthful energy is weighed down by guilt and exhaustion. Needs an actor who can balance raw emotion with quiet strength.
