Seeking actors for lead and supporting roles in "Before Us," a series consisting of brief microdramas. This document features four concise microdramas, adapted from the larger work titled "Before Us,"

Please submit an actor demo reel for consideration.

Project Synopsis:

BEFORE US is an elevated sci-fi microdrama series and movie trilogy is set in a story universe spanning 450,000 years, from an ancient civilization that first shaped humanity to the present-day moment when a handful of ordinary people begin to remember what the rest of the world has forgotten. Presented as fiction rooted in truth and told in the spirit of Interstellar, Dune, and The Matrix, it's grounded, human-first, and built to spark questions rather than hand out answers. At its center is a single radical idea: that humanity was never broken, only made to forget how powerful and connected it truly is. The series follows a group of strangers scattered across the world who wake to the same truth in the same week and find themselves drawn toward one another and toward a hidden history someone has spent a very long time keeping buried. As they come together, they discover that the divisions tearing the world apart were never human nature, but a tool used against us and that remembering who we really are may be the one thing capable of changing everything. These are grounded, emotionally present roles: real people carrying enormous stakes with restraint, stillness, and truth.

Roles Details

Title
Kael Noor
Content
Kael Noor, 30. Magnetic, funny, a total extrovert who lights up every room — and underneath, a man who hasn’t let anyone truly see him in years. He wears two flawless masks: charm with people, and competence with numbers, an MIT-level mind working quietly as an accountant at a defense contractor. He’s been best friends with Dylan online for a decade without ever meeting in person. When the money he tracks stops adding up, both masks crack at once and the proud identity he spent ten years building collapses. He arrives believing he’s on a one-week trip. His is the film’s most interior awakening. A good man, unknowingly complicit, who wakes up, becomes a warrior. The role asks for effortless charisma over hidden depth, comic timing as armor, and a devastating, unguarded unmasking.
