Actress Audition in a Short Film “What She Said”

Acting
Paying up to $100 CAD/project
Description

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Casting an actress for a short film called “What She Said”. More details are below.

About the project:
The film follows Tonya as she delivers a furious message. What the audience slowly discovers is that this is actually an audition — but one that lands far deeper than intended in the film producer.

Rate:
$100 CAD (paid role).
Non-Union.

Additional information:
Location: Edmonton, Alberta.
Tentative Date: Mid-August 2025.
Shooting Time: Approx. 2–3 hours.
Will be filming two emotionally connected scenes in a public park, both in the same shoot day.
If you’re not comfortable delivering profanity-heavy lines, this role likely isn’t a good fit.
Shoot Details:
Exterior shoot in a public park (location TBD).
Small, minimal crew.
Content Warning: The script contains strong language (swearing) and emotionally intense dialogue.

If you feel inspired, you can record a quick self-tape (phone video is perfectly fine) performing a portion — or all — of the script shown in the 3 attached slides (1, 2, 3). It doesn’t have to be polished — directors just want to get a sense of your tone and delivery. It will definitely help them in the selection process.
