Acteur gezocht afstudeerfilm Modderdans

Modderdans follows Gajes (23), who grows up in the raw IJmuiden, where the industrial environment and the people radiate the same hardness and pride. Gajes, who speaks little, seems to fit in well in this port town. Yet the extent of his hardening betrays something else: he is unable to be alone. He clings to the hustle and bustle and distraction of his colleagues at the fish market, unable to face himself.

Gajes lives with his sister Mijs, who wonders out loud why he is so closed off, while he tries to conform to his environment. Gajes moves through the repetition of days, caught between the rough dynamics at work and the confrontation he feels at home. A building tension that inevitably leads to a breaking point.

This is a graduation film called Modderdans, made at the Utrecht School of the Arts.

The theme of masculinity is immense and therefore difficult to approach directly. That is why the story focuses on being in touch with yourself and the physical world around you. This also applies literally: Modderdans brings his message to the viewer through tangibility. The story is not only told, but also felt. Experience the roughness of sand under Gajes' nails, the cautious approach of red-hot steel, or the care with which he handles the soft body of a deceased goldfish.

Omschrijving
We are looking for an actor (20 - 25 years old) for the role of Gajes.

Gajes (23) is a young man who hardens himself to a remarkable extent in the rough world of IJmuiden. He is closed and emotionally reserved, but there is more going on beneath the surface. Despite this attitude, a soft, vulnerable side occasionally emerges. His struggle is to balance his inner sensitivity with the harsh expectations that are expected of him.
