Casting Call for "A Small Body," a Two-Person Drama

We are looking for actors to star in "A Small Body," an intimate drama set in a research laboratory during the quiet hours of the night. The story delves into the unexpected conflict that arises between a lab manager and a graduate student over the future of a solitary albino rat during what starts as a routine procedure.

"A Small Body" is a subtle, character-driven film exploring themes of conscience, complicity, and the challenges of empathy in a clinical setting.

The scenes involving the rat will be tailored to align with the animal's natural disposition and behavior. The albino rat is a friendly and well-socialized companion, and actors will interact with the animal during controlled scenes under supervision.
