I am making a psychological thriller short film about a young, recently graduated graphic designer entering the professional field for the first time. The film explores the doubts, insecurities, and sense of “imposter syndrome” that often arises when entering a new creative field.

Synopsis
In Still Mind (working title), we follow the chaotic thought world of a young, recently graduated graphic designer preparing for a job interview. As she goes through her morning routine, various possible versions of the interview play out in her head. In rapid, sometimes surreal visualizations, she sees both the best and the worst outcomes before her: from perfect answers and moments of success to the most extreme rejections.
These scenarios reveal her insecurities, fears, and expectations, and take up increasingly more space within her thoughts. Interspersed between these visualizations, we see moments from her real morning, in which she prepares to leave the house.
In the climax of the building stress in her hectic thoughts, she receives a call from the design studio company. During this phone call, it becomes clear that she has already had the job interview for which she prepared so intensely, and that she got the job. What we have followed turns out not to be preparation for a single interview, but a glimpse into a mind that constantly tries to control possible outcomes.

What do we offer?
- Expense allowance (mainly travel expenses)
- A chance to gain a fun and unique experience as an actor
- An opportunity to contribute to a unique project that we will collectively turn into a fun experience.

Description
We are looking for two roles:

Riva (Main character)
- Woman
- 20 - 25 years
- artistic / creative appearance


Interviewer

- Man (woman is also allowed)
- 30 - 50 years
The interviewer is an embodiment of Riva's thoughts and therefore also a projection of her emotions. Consequently, this character changes drastically between scenes.

The characters have no fixed physical characteristics, so we are very open about who can apply. Extensive previous acting experience is also not required, so don't hesitate to send an email!
