Description
For a warm, relatable short film, I'm looking for three enthusiastic actors who can create a believable and intimate atmosphere together. Acting experience is a plus, but motivation, enjoyment of the acting, and authenticity are just as important. Beginning or amateur actors are also very welcome!

Leading role: Lieke
Woman | 18–22 years
About the character:
Lieke is an open, enthusiastic, and eager-to-learn culinary student. She has a natural charm and quickly puts others at ease. However, behind that warm exterior lies a hidden struggle: the pressure she puts on herself to always perform and be the best version of herself.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) experience with acting (theatre and/or film – amateur level is fine)
- You feel comfortable with improvisation
- You can play both lightness and vulnerability credibly

Supporting role: Anna
Woman | 18–22 years
About the character:
Anna is an empathetic classmate and a good friend. She can sense when Lieke is struggling and tries to reassure her gently, sometimes playfully. Her strength lies in small gestures, humor, and simply being there.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) acting experience (theater/film, amateur is welcome)
- Natural, warm appearance
- Willingness to improvise and search for real moments together

Supporting role: Tim
Male | 17–23 years
About the character:
Tim is a calm, level-headed classmate who often stands next to Lieke in the kitchen. He's a keen observer and quickly notices when she's getting ahead of herself. With dry humor or practical suggestions, he manages to relieve her stress.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) acting experience (theater/film, amateur level is fine)
- Subtle playing, sense of timing and humor
- Open attitude towards improvisation

Why join?
- Working on a character-driven short film
- Space for your own input and improvisation
- Nice, safe set with a focus on cooperation and fun
