Logline
A woman exchanges phone calls with her friends and family while moving house, ultimately revealing a deeper and unexpected reality.
Synopsis
Brittany (early-30s) is moving house. Throughout the day, Brittany exchanges phone calls with friends and family discussing plans, relationships, memories, inside jokes, and dreams. Each conversation reflects the warmth and love that surround her.
During these conversations, we learn that Brittany is in the early stages of serious illness. She faces her condition with a blend of humour, positivity, and acceptance. Her older sister playfully remarks that Brittany has ten good years left, a joke that reflects their open, transparent approach to her diagnosis. The gravity of Brittany's situation remains understated, focusing on her vibrant interactions and strong connections with loved ones.
"Moving On" is an exploration of love, friendship, community, and the strength found in vulnerability. It is a near-realtime glimpse into a courageous woman's journey through the twilight of her independence.

The Role
We're looking for a voiceover artist to play our main character's aging father.
Instead of having a fully written script, we'll be providing you with a detailed outline of your character's history, knowledge of the situation, and goals in the scene. The goal is to allow the dialogue and interactions to be organically developed by the actors, encouraging spontaneity and authenticity. You will have the creative freedom to explore your role and contribute to the storytelling process in a more collaborative and dynamic way. Improv experience is a major plus, but not required.
Your entire role will be via phone conversation with the main character, from a separate remote location. Only your voice will appear in the final cut.
