Lead role for ver­ti­cal series

We are curr­ent­ly deve­lo­ping a ver­ti­cal nar­ra­ti­ve series titled EUROPEAN DREAMERS, set on a Euro­pean night train. The pro­ject is in deve­lo­p­ment and is inten­ded to be pit­ched to ARTE.

We are pre­pa­ring a short teaser (2 shoo­ting days, Janu­ary 27–28) and are still loo­king for an actress as our lead role.

About the role “Abby”:
Abby is Ame­ri­can and works as a ser­vice atten­dant on the train. She has an almost over­flowing ener­gy — open, humo­rous, emo­tio­nal­ly pre­sent, and very com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ve. Abby easi­ly con­nects with peo­p­le, asks a lot of ques­ti­ons, and genui­ne­ly means well. Some­ti­mes a bit too much — which is exact­ly what makes her relata­ble and com­pel­ling. The role is high­ly dia­lo­gue-dri­ven and reli­es on natu­ral pre­sence and timing.

Pro­fi­le we are loo­king for:

play­ing age 19

inter­na­tio­nal pre­sence, ide­al­ly nati­ve Eng­lish spea­k­er

strong, natu­ral screen pre­sence

com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ve, humo­rous, dia­lo­gue-dri­ven

film­ing in Eng­lish (flu­ent or nati­ve)

The teaser shoot is a low-bud­get deve­lo­p­ment shoot and will be unpaid. We want to be ful­ly trans­pa­rent about this. Tra­vel and cate­ring will be pro­vi­ded, and in the event of a series rea­liza­ti­on, pro­fes­sio­nal com­pen­sa­ti­on and fur­ther col­la­bo­ra­ti­on are plan­ned.

If you are inte­res­ted in the pro­ject, we would be hap­py to recei­ve a headshot/​showreal under this mail: rahel.​dietze@​gmail.​com
