Casting call for "Say My Name," a short cinematic film exploring a woman's journey through systems that define, question, and label her without truly acknowledging her as a person.

Synopsis: A woman rushes to a job interview, arriving late. During the interview, the interviewer criticizes her lateness and struggles to pronounce her name correctly, sparking an intense emotional response. As the camera focuses on her, a flood of thoughts and memories ensue. She shuts her eyes and imagines herself at Hopscotch, where a caretaker asks how to pronounce her name. In that moment, she feels truly recognized.

This film is a charitable project produced in collaboration with Media Trust, an organization that connects charitable causes with media industry volunteers for practical assistance. This particular project is in support of Hopscotch Women’s Charity, which addresses issues such as gender-based violence and social and racial injustice.
