BUSINESS AS USUAL is my second-year short film at an audiovisual design school in Rotterdam. A young man with a knife in his back goes to the most important job interview of his life, because his father's approval matters more than staying alive. Deadpan, natural, slightly absurd. The straighter you play it, the funnier it is.

Note: the film includes a simulated stabbing with a prop (no real blades) and a fall to the floor. Everything will be rehearsed and I'm happy to talk through it first.

Time commitment: Jonatan: one shoot day (up to 8 hours with breaks). Interviewer: about 4 to 5 hours. Janitor and man in the corridor: 2 to 3 hours each. Father (voice): about 30 minutes, recorded remotely. Exact call times will be shared in advance.
Language: the film is in English, so fluent English is preferred.

Wat bieden wij?
€10 per person as a small thank-you, plus snacks and drinks on set and a copy of the finished film for your showreel.
