Toekijken is a Dutch-language arthouse short film of 12 to 15 minutes, written and directed by Joël in 't Veld as the graduation film for his studies at ROC Rijn IJssel. The film is produced under the name Different Motion Films. The story follows Daan, a 21-year-old who deals drugs to pay for his mother's medical expenses. Not by choice, but because he sees no other way out. When his best friend Luuk becomes addicted to the drugs Daan supplies him and eventually dies, Daan is the one there. The film revolves around guilt and grief, written in a somber, realistic tone without moralizing. Shooting takes place in and around Arnhem with a small crew of three to five people.

Description
An actor aged 19 to 25 is needed for the role of Luuk, the best friend of protagonist Daan. Luuk is open; he trusts and asks little in return. This makes his decline all the more painful. We are looking for someone who can credibly portray this physical and behavioral decline—not melodramatically, but genuinely. Luuk is not a victim of paper; he is someone you understand why Daan wouldn't let him go. Availability for multiple rehearsals is required.
