We are looking to fill several roles for a 30-minute short film titled “The Hunt”. This project will be completed as part of our Senior Thesis at Union College. “The Hunt” revolves around a retired detective, Karl, who stumbles upon a man that he believes may have something to hide. At the same time someone goes missing and Karl struggles to piece together this mysterious disappearance all while being doubted at every angle by those closest to him.
