(auto-translated from Dutch Dutch)
When 14-year-old Merel is admitted to a psychiatric clinic against her will, she decides to run away.
EGEL is an ode to that crazy period between being a girl and becoming a woman; to all girls who feel sad, angry, difficult, misunderstood, and lost.
EGEL is a student production by third-year students at the NAVB in Amsterdam and, green light*, will be filmed between December 2026 and February 2027.
As of September 30, 2026, approval is still awaited. It is therefore not yet certain that EGEL will reach the production phase.
What we offer
- A leading role in a film made by ambitious, enthusiastic, and serious students, with the chance to be screened at film festivals
- Travel and expense reimbursement for both actress and parent/guardian, in consultation
- Other compensation for actress to be agreed upon

We are looking for a young, aspiring, and passionate actress aged 14 who can act convincingly without dialogue and is available for at least 4 working days during the period December 2026 - February 2027 to play the role of Merel. Preference is given to actresses with an unconventional appearance, but there are no requirements regarding physical characteristics.
Following on from this, we are looking for committed and flexible parents/guardians who are able to attend the shoot, if desired. Naturally, the entire production proceeds in close consultation with the parents/guardians.
PLEASE NOTE: Various scenes will be filmed in the dark at night and early in the morning; a (herbal) cigarette must be smoked in various scenes; various scenes may contain references to self-harm and disordered eating behavior. We trust that interested parties will handle these topics with appropriate discretion. We advise interested parties for whom these topics may be triggering not to apply.
