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

Jake is Angela’s wealthy childhood friend and emotional safe haven — the “good boy” counterpart to Dexter’s dangerous bad-boy energy. Adopted into an ultra-rich New York family after growing up with Angela in an orphanage, Jake never forgot her and quietly remained in love with her for years. Unlike Dexter, Jake consistently protects, encourages, and emotionally validates Angela without demanding anything in return. He represents stability, kindness, and the future Angela could choose beyond trauma and toxicity. His arrival creates a powerful romantic triangle and forces Dexter to confront how badly he failed Angela. The character is involved in a brief romance scene (kissing, embracing) but nothing sexual or explicit. Piano experience a plus but not required. Please note in submission.
