ABOUT THE FILM
Write This In Red is about love, trust, and what happens when vulnerability is used against you within a relationship. It shows the loss of trust and how you must learn to deal with it.
It is an intimate, dialogue-driven project with elements of visual alienation (including stop-motion and body horror).

synopsis
Sarah and Jason share a loving relationship, until Jason, during a wedding,
used her vulnerable story in his speech.
What is connection to him feels like betrayal to her and puts their dynamic under pressure.
In an alienating, physical climax, Sarah frees herself from this break and takes the
control over her own identity

While Jason eventually lies underground, Sarah stands above him. She smooths her own

Omschrijving
SARAH (F, ±20–28)
A confident, layered woman with strong emotional depth. Can carry vulnerability and strength simultaneously.

JASON (M, ±20–30)
Charismatic and sharp. Someone who exudes control, but who also has something underneath that can shift.

I am looking for actors who are comfortable with intense acting, silences, and subtext. I think it is really cool to truly discover together how we can add more depth to the acting.
