Casting Call for American Short Film

I am a film major at Emerson College looking for an actor to star as a modern reimagining of Black Pete in an abstract magical realism short film (5 minutes). The film follows the classic holiday character on his off season during the springtime and his struggles with a separation of work and life.
THEMES
The film is a social commentary about the commodification of black bodies and the dichotomy of the black experience throughout history. It is delivered through ambient, meditative visuals and a harrowing tale delivered by a storybook narrator.
