CASTING CALL LEAD&SUPPORT - Shortfilm " Turn The TV Off "

In a war-torn nation where television is the only escape, glamorous showgirl June Carter — known to the world as Junie Ray — stars in the government’s dazzling propaganda show Goodnight! Nation, hosted by the ever-smiling Mr. Day. Each night, she sings to keep citizens distracted while bombs fall outside. But when her rebel ex-lover Neo returns, June begins to see the ghosts behind the applause — the truth she’s helped conceal. Haunted by her own silence, she must choose between the safety of illusion and the deadly cost of truth. A haunting dystopian drama about complicity, spectacle, and the lies we learn to live in.

Omschrijving
Junie Ray. Lead Role, Female, 20-24, All Ethnicities.
Once a folk-singing idealist from the countryside, June reinvented herself as Junie Ray, an obedient showgirl and shining face of the propaganda show Goodnight! Nation. Charming and composed on stage, she hides exhaustion, guilt, and a growing fracture between who she is and who she pretends to be. Her journey moves from polished compliance to a dangerous, quiet awakening. ** SINGING SKILLS REQUIRED , ANY DANCE SKILLS ARE A PLUS.

Neo. Supporting Role, male, 24-27, All Ethnicities.
Junie’s former lover. Presumed dead, now a rebel fugitive hardened by war and exile. Neo carries the weight of truth on his shoulders: lean, sharp, eyes burning with conviction. He’s the voice of the outside world intruding on illusion. Angry, desperate, but still tender with her. Once a musician like Junie, he represents what she’s lost: honesty, rebellion, humanity. His presence reawakens her conscience.

Scarlet. Supporting Role, Female, 20-24, All Ethnicities.
A showgirl and one of The Dreamettes — beautiful, devoted, and utterly consumed by the world of Goodnight! Nation. Scarlet is dazzling, vain, and deeply indoctrinated, treating obedience as salvation and propaganda as faith. Beneath her charm lies fear; she clings to illusion as truth. Her clash with Junie exposes the divide between belief and awakening. ** DANCE SKILLS HIGHLY PREFERRED.
