Film (Short / Student)

Content

A solitary young woman participates in a trial for an experimental drug designed to enhance empathy, allowing her to inhabit the minds of others—experiencing all their joys, pains, and secrets. What starts as an enlightening experience quickly turns into a snare: once you deeply understand someone, separating becomes unthinkable for both. This psychological thriller, infused with dark and eerie elements, echoes the styles of David Lynch and early Brian De Palma.

Roles Details

Title

EMILY

Content

Lead. Female. 20s. Open-faced, perceptive, a little lonely — the kind of person who listens too closely. After being dosed, she experiences other people's entire lives in overwhelming psychic floods, much of it near-wordless. The role demands enormous range — genuine tears, wonder, terror, bottomless empathy, and a devastating final turn — and carries nearly every scene, including a climax in which she is bound to a chair. We need an actor who can hold a silent close-up and break your heart in it. (Lead — heaviest emotional load. Priority role.)
