We are currently in pre-production for a short film that we will be shooting this summer. The film is inspired by films such as “Call me by your name” and “Waves”. A big theme of this film is nostalgia and to capture this nostalgia we are looking for 2 young boys to play the smaller versions of our main characters. We want to make a short flashback montage with the boys to really capture the essence of the film. Below is a summary of what the story is about.

Synopsis:
Luca and Noah have been inseparable for years and share endless adventures every summer. Their friendship is platonic and deeply rooted in mutual understanding. A constant in their lives is their 'spot', a secluded beach by the water, where they always come together to escape from the world.
But this summer feels different. While Noah enthusiastically talks about his acceptance to a study and his new driver's license, Luca is left with a growing sense of uncertainty. He doesn't know what he wants and fears that he will lose his best friend to the future.
Their friendship reaches a breaking point at a party. Luca feels left out and gets sucked into a spiral of jealousy and insecurity. An argument escalates, and Luca ends up humiliated in the swimming pool. Deeply hurt and ashamed, he withdraws, until a lonely night with his guitar forces him to face his feelings.
After a period of self-reflection, Luca and Noah meet again in the morning at their 'spot' to talk it out. For the last time, they sit together by the water, and in a candid conversation, they let go of their facades. They cry together and acknowledge that nothing will stay the same, but that their friendship will always be a part of them. Their bond may be changing, but their memories and deep connection will remain.
The summer ends as it began: on the bike. But this time Luca consciously chooses a different path, ready to face his own future.

What do we offer?
Because we are an independent film we cannot give money for the labor, but we provide a full stomach and a good atmosphere on set. In addition, this is also a good place to network with future HKU students who are driven and passionate about the film profession. In addition, we are planning to submit this film to as many film festivals as possible, so there is also a possibility to network with actors and filmmakers there.
