Today, I wrote up a casting call with Ruth and we posted it. I wanted to get an actor cast as early as possible to give me time to work with the actor in order to build the character.
The casting call read as follows:
**CASTING CALL**
Actor required for a short film to be shot in Edinburgh. The film is a post-apocalyptic drama with elements of dark comedy.
Logline
Months after an apocalyptic disaster, Tom reminisces about the city he has lost, when he is forced to leave the safety of his self-made shelter.
Tom
We’d love the opportunity to develop the character of Tom alongside the right actor. The playing age is malleable; anywhere from late 20s to 50s.
He is a pragmatic guy who is really struggling with the loneliness of not seeing a single living soul in months. He is obviously very quiet and tries to keep his mind occupied and upbeat, however his loneliness is really messing with his head.
Tom isn’t Bear Grylls. He is an everyman; he didn’t prepare for any of this to happen, however, he has had to learn how to survive by himself.
