Sakura Productions is producing a promotional film for the Retired Police Officers Association Scotland (RPOAS).
The film explores what happens when a career in policing comes to an end and the importance of staying connected to the wider policing family.
Through three individual stories, we explore retirement, identity, friendship, wellbeing and the support available through RPOAS. The film will feature three speaking roles, Fiona, David and Alistair, each offering a different perspective on life after policing.
We are looking for natural, believable performances that feel genuine and conversational rather than overly theatrical. Some of the material is emotional, so actors should be comfortable handling more serious subject matter with subtlety.
A natural Scottish accent is preferred, ideally from actors based in Scotland.
The finished film will be professionally produced and used by RPOAS across its website, social media and wider promotional and communications channels.

Content

Alistair
Male, 40+
Alistair is a retired police officer reflecting on his career, retirement and the importance of friendship, connection and support within the policing family.
His story looks at the challenges that can come with retirement and how the people we meet throughout our policing careers can remain an important source of support, even years after leaving the service.
We're looking for a warm, personable actor who can deliver emotional material naturally and with genuine feeling. The performance should feel like someone sharing a personal story with a friend rather than delivering a scripted speech.
Scottish accent preferred, ideally from Scotland.
Professional acting experience is preferred, but we're happy to consider the right person.
