"Opal" - is a crime/comedy short film about an interrogation gone wrong. Two criminals are questioned about a stolen precious opal, but their contradictory answers only further confuse the detective determined to recover it.
Set almost entirely in a single location, the film is a dialogue-driven crime comedy focused on strong character dynamics and dry humour.

Description
We are looking for 3 actors.
The roles are:
Cole(Detective. Male, age 25–35, medium height/build) - serves as the middle ground between the two criminals(one serious and one completely ridiculous). Calm and authoritative at first, he conducts the interrogation with confidence, but gradually grows irritated by the absurd answers he receives, leading to occasional outbursts of frustration.
Turner(Criminal. Male, age 20–30, medium height/build)- is the comedic centre of the film. Ignorant yet enthusiastic, he approaches the interrogation in a childish and oblivious manner, accidentally making the detective’s job both harder and easier at the same time. Despite trying to stay loyal, he is easily manipulated into revealing more than he should.
Stan(Criminal. Male, age 25–35, tall and slim) - the serious half of the criminal duo. Calm, controlled, and unfazed throughout the interrogation, he refuses to admit involvement in the crime or answer direct questions. However, he becomes strangely passionate whenever the stolen “stone” is discussed, insisting on correcting everyone who refers to it incorrectly.

Period
Shooting will take place between 4th–6th July at SAE Institute Amsterdam.
