CASTING CALL | Lead Actress for Short Film (Paid)

Title: ANATOMY OF A PRESIDENT

Credit: Written by Raul Antonio Rendon. Based on the short story by JG Ballard

Genre: Political Satire

Logline: In a society that trades the President's body like a stock index, a ruthless Wall Street analyst is so fixed on diagnosing the president’s cough, that he fails to notice World War 3 erupting around him.

We are searching for a lead actress to play “Susan” in a dystopian political short film. The short film is adapted from the short story “The Secret History of WW3” by JG Ballard.

Susan Description:

Detail-oriented, astute, stubborn and exceptionally intelligent. Due to her attention to detail, she’s the only one who realizes that World War 3 is unfolding. While her husband, Ballard, is an arrogant banker, she is the person who really runs the house, and she has a commanding presence over him. She is an assertive person, who uses her assertiveness as a mask of her inner panic once the events of the film transpire.

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Age Range: 25 – 35

Language: Must speak native English, with either an American accent or neutral accent.

The project is paid. We’re still in preproduction and financing phase, but actors will be given a fair compensation.
