ABOUT THE FILM
Write This In Red is about love, trust, and what happens when vulnerability is used against you within a relationship. It shows the loss of trust and how you must learn to deal with it.
It is an intimate, dialogue-driven project with elements of visual alienation (including stop-motion and body horror).

While Jason eventually lies underground, Sarah stands above him. She smooths her own

Description
SARAH (F, ±20–28)
A confident, layered woman with strong emotional depth. Can carry vulnerability and strength simultaneously.

JASON (M, ±20–30)
Charismatic and sharp. Someone who exudes control, but who also has something underneath that can shift.

I am looking for actors who are comfortable with intense acting, silences, and subtext. I think it is really cool to truly discover together how we can add more depth to the acting.
