Virtual Reality Short Film
Location: New York City, New York
Type: Film
HKD Productions is shooting a 360 degree virtual reality, mystery short film. Production will take place in late October on Long Island, for one weekend, and is paid. Transportation will be handled and food.
We are casting for 6 roles in the production. Although it is a short film, the nature of VR requires comfort with long takes. Actors with theater experience are appreciated. All roles are non-traditional/color blind except when noted.
Logline: When a body appears at a crowded AirBnB, 5 guests squabble over who killed him, as the audience watches from the perspective of the corpse (Clue in 360!).
Roles –
Tina (mid 30s, female):
Librarian type, slightly up tight. She owns the Airbnb where the murder occurred and is not happy. Secretly homophobic.
Jared (late 20s, male):
Stoner, but still sharp. He is a blogger vacationing in the house.
Frank (early 30s, male, African-American):
His husband, Guy, is the victim. He’s distraught by holding it together well.
Claire (early 30s, female):
She is a well-to-do-woman with a secret – she just got out of prison for tax evasion. She’s violating her parole and clearly stressed out.
Byron (30s, male):
Very eager to solve the murder so he and his wife Claire can get out of the house.
Guy (early thirties, male):
Guy is the victim. We learn that Guy is planning to leave his husband Frank.
