The Bin Man is a horror-comedy short film that blends dark humour with supernatural horror. The story follows Sean, who ignores the recycling rules and soon discovers that someone - or something - is watching over the bins. What begins as a mundane mistake quickly spirals into a bizarre and terrifying encounter, delivering both laughs and scares.
The finished film is intended for the festival circuit and online release, with the aim of reaching audiences who enjoy independent genre films, particularly horror and comedy.
We are a University Filmmaking Crew producing this project and am currently casting three actors to bring this unique story to life. This casting call is for performers who are excited to collaborate on a fun, character-driven short with a distinctive concept and strong visual style. - Dates
