Job Specifics:

Details:

We are Emma Dodds and Adrian Rowe- a filmmaking team working under the production banner of Industrious Dark. We’re seeking actors for our new short film- 5 day shoot scheduled between 26th September- 4th October in Belfast.
Auditions will be held Monday 31st August in Belfast, open to actors of all experience but must be based in Northern Ireland.

Prick is a topical drama around the subject of diabetes, showing the highs and lows and general daily life of a diabetic. We feel the subject is often portrayed inaccurately in films and would like to depict the condition in an honest manner but still keeping things positive. We’re coming at it from a different angle; a personal, realistic viewpoint- this isn’t about suffering, it’s just a lifestyle.

Prick was awarded funding through Northern Ireland Screen’s recent short film call. Our ultra low budget of £2.5k means unfortunately we can only cover expenses.
To apply please email CV and/or web links to previous work to Emma Dodds at industriousdarkfilms@gmail.com.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to audition.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
