Hello there! I'm Thomas, the director of Metamorph, an experimental psychological short film (+–15 minutes) currently in development. I'm looking for 30 extras serving as a background cast in a rave. This means partying all day, and being on a film set in a bunker in Breda!

Metamorph follows a young woman who leads a life of excess
and finds herself caught up in an increasingly surreal experience that forces her to choose between a beautiful illusion and facing the emptiness that lies beneath it.

The film is open to interpretation, but it explores identity, purpose, perception, and the question of what makes a life worth living.

What we offer
This is a low budget independent film. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a fee. Same goes for catering and traveling expenses.

In return, you'll be a part of an ambitious experimental short film with footage that can be used for your portfolio/showreel, you'll connect with both filmmakers and fellow ravers. Also, you'll be invited to the premiere in Utrecht. More information about that will follow.

Type
Studentenproductie

Location
Oude Vest 2, 4811 HT Breda

Description
30 various ravers, approximately 20–40 years old.

If you're into raves, black clothes and films, you are exactly what I'm looking for. It doesn't matter if you have piercings, tattoos, a crazy hairstyle or none of the above- anyone is welcome.

As a raver, you are minding your own business. Our protagonist is going through hell, and you don't even see it. You're like a ghost in her world. The protagonist might cry out. She might push you. She might look at you. But you don't see her. You're just enjoying the moment, the music, the dance. Dance or movement experience is very welcome, not required.

Most of the 30 extras will be visible in the background, but there's also some featured extras:

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
For the featured extras, we are looking for:

- Two ravers, preferably man and woman, who are open to make out on camera. This will include a medium and a close-up.

- Two ravers, who're making eye contact in a medium shot. Nothing happens, but you will be clearly visible in frame.

- A group of four ravers holding each other's shoulders and laughing, like they're best friends.

- Two friends- one trying to say something to the other, but the music is too loud to hear anything.

There will be no nudity, sexual activity or anything like it. Any potentially intimate or revealing material will be discussed clearly in advance. Nothing will be expected without your prior agreement, and your comfort and consent are essential.

DRESS CODE
- All-black clothes, no print or flashy colors/details.
- If wearing accessories, they should be silver.
- Keep it PG, no visible intimate body parts. Sexy is good, nudity is not.

Period
The shoot will take place on the 27th of November 2026 from 10-18h, in an old post office in Breda. There is a bunker hidden beneath, where we'll film the most important scene of the film: the rave.
