CASTING CALL – STUDENT PROJECT (UNPAID)

Title: The Guilty Trip
Location: Amsterdam

Filming dates: January 12-14

For an experimental, satirical campaign video developed at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, we are looking for a male actor (35–50) to play a politician.

About the project:

“Guilty Trip” is a satirical campaign video about how responsibility for the plastic crisis is pushed onto individuals, while industries and politicians stay in the background.
The film follows Bo, a young person overwhelmed by guilt, who starts seeing plastic everywhere in her everyday life. At the same time, a symbolic politician extra represents political inaction and industry influence.
Using satire and strong visual metaphors, the film questions greenwashing, misplaced guilt, and who is really responsible.

What do we offer?
An opportunity to collaborate on a student production and receive a completed project for your portfolio.
