Casting Call for short film Cabinet

We, Koen van Leeuwen and Tom Breedveld from Fast Clouds Productions, are in pre-production for our second short film, intended to be a proof of concept for our first feature film. This high-effort, polished production is intended for a first rate festival run and application for funding and sponsorships to make our upcoming feature - for which Cabinet is a prequel - a worthy debut theatrical feature.

Were looking for passionate actors/actresses from all backgrounds, who want to participate in our ambitious short film project. For reference, we have provided a YouTube-link to our first short film Callback, which is the epilogue to the feature film concept of which Cabinet is the prequel. Should you join, you would become part of this ambitious trilogy.

We look forward to creating something beautiful with you on our team!

Synopsis

In a shadowy organization that uncovers the worlds hidden truths, new recruits face an initiation: entering a mysterious cabinet to find out which veteran colleague will become their mentor and partner. What seems an otherwise professional affair turns out to be either the ultimate weakness or greatest strength of our main character, an old hand in the business who takes it upon herself to complete the task which incapacitated her previous companion.
Who are we looking for?

Age: 30-50
Description: This Secretary is a calm and collected presence, sitting behind the desk with an air of quiet efficiency. She is polite yet detached, exuding a sense of routine and familiarity with the surreal tasks of the organization. While her role seems mundane on the surface, there’s an underlying air of knowing—she sees more than she says. Her exchanges with the Man are laced with subtle humor and cryptic hints, suggesting she’s deeply embedded in the strange workings of the organization. Actors should portray a composed, unflappable demeanor, with the ability to deliver dialogue with understated wit and intrigue.

2. Dudebro

Actors should bring a mix of humor, charm, and intensity to the role, capturing both his laid-back nature and moments of tension.

4. Glasses Guy
Gender: Male
Age: 30-50
