CASTING CALL | Student Short Film | Limburg
For an ambitious student production, we are looking for actors from Limburg for a mysterious short film set in the Limburg countryside around Hout-Blerick.

About the film
The film tells the story of a teenager who has been living with one big question for two years: what happened to his or her mother? When answers fail to materialize, the character decides to investigate on their own. During this search, old secrets from Limburg's past are slowly uncovered.
Because the story is deeply rooted in Limburg, speaking the Limburg dialect is a requirement for the spoken roles.

Recording dates: November 30 to December 4, 2026
Location: Hout-Blerick (Limburg)
Compensation: As this is a student production, no financial compensation is available. However, we do provide catering during all filming days and travel expenses are reimbursed.
