Wanted: Actor | Robert - former police officer (Male, 45 to 65 years old) | Project: Paper Girl

Paper Girl (Short film)

Role status:

Will close on 07 December, 2025

In return for:

Collaboration (expenses paid)

I can offer a collaborative environment with a professional cast and crew and no Divas. You will be a part of a generous and passionate film making community. You will most definitely be fed and well looked after whilst shooting. There will be a premiere at The Little Theatre, Bath, which you will be invited to as a VIP and offered a front row seat. You will have some beautifully shot scenes to use in your showreel. I plan to enter this short film into festivals and, if successful, will invite you to attend. Note: My recent short film, Good Dog, has been accepted into 5 film festivals this year so far and won 2 awards (Best Producer-Will Davies & Best Student Film-Richard Macey-Cross). It was made as part of my Masters Degree (I am no longer a student).

Timing:

4 days from 25 May, 2026

I hope to shoot this 11 page script in 4 days but it may be possible to complete in 3.

Location:

Based in Bristol/Bath, United Kingdom

Robert seems like an ordinary middle aged man . But we quickly perceive that he may be dangerous. We are quickly corrected in our assumption though as he falls victim to a kidnapping. However, it transpires that his historic, unlawful behaviour and abuse of power whilst serving with the police force is the cause of his entrapment and, ultimately, we must decide for ourselves whether or not Robert is deserving of his bloody fate.

The character, Robert, has 10 lines. He is, however, the only character to speak, albeit briefly and mostly at the beginning. His ordeal will be communicated through his eyes as his mouth is taped shut for a large portion of the story. He will respond to 2 silent women taking their revenge in the form of a strange and violent dance and ultimately a brutal and fatal mutilation.
