We are casting LA based actors for a new vertical short

Storyline: Angela, a shy yet talented high school singer, secretly leads a double life as "Echo," a renowned player in the music-fantasy game Song Slayer. In the game, she falls head over heels for her partner, "Dax." When Angela uncovers that Dax is actually Dexter—the notorious gang-involved bully at her school and linked to her tormentor Camilla—her fantasy romance clashes with her real life. Angela gives Dexter three opportunities to prove he is not really a bully, criminal, or cheater, but each test leads to betrayal.

Platform: ReelShort

Applicants must be based in Los Angeles or be able to work locally with reliable transportation. Each filming day is 12 hours plus a break for lunch, unless otherwise noted in the rate details or character description. Please consider this when assessing the rates.

An Intimacy and Stunt Coordinator will be present on set to prioritize performer safety and comfort. Make sure to review each role for specific physical or intimacy requirements.

PLEASE SUBMIT A DEMO REEL TO BE CONSIDERED

Camilla is the primary antagonist and Angela’s longtime bully. Entitled, manipulative, and deeply possessive of Dexter, she becomes obsessed with destroying Angela after realizing Angela is Echo — the girl Dexter truly loves. Camilla weaponizes social status, emotional manipulation, and even AI-generated fake recordings to sabotage Angela’s relationship with Dexter and isolate her emotionally. Although she hides behind a spoiled-rich-girl persona, her desperation stems from abandonment issues after her brother Adam’s death and her fear of losing Dexter too. She escalates from verbal bullying to outright physical violence, ultimately causing the career-ending injury to Angela’s hands. Talent must be comfortable with staged action scenes involving hair pulling, slapping/getting slapped, pushing, falling, and getting dragged away. No extensive or elaborate stunts.
