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.

Title

Naia Okafor

Naia, 25, from Savannah, Georgia. Warm, sharp, and irreverent — the kind of humor only deeply loved people have. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died in a car accident, she’s been part-mother to her younger brother her whole life and has built her world around staying close to the people she loves; leaving terrifies her, because the last people who left never came back. She has carried a quiet gift since childhood — a way of seeing — without ever being given the word for it. She is the seer, the bloodline carrier, awakened not through transformation but through recognition — a name finally given to something that was always there. Alone among the group, she is pushed, not pulled. The role asks for warmth, spine, disarming humor, and a grief held close to the chest — dignity carried through wit, strength through tenderness. Never the mystical helper; the spiritual center.
