Third-year student production Deep in the Night, thriller film:

Synopsis:
Selene and Saar are getting ready for a fun night out. They're eager to dance and misbehave. As soon as they enter the club, Saar notices a man staring at them with unusual intensity. She immediately gets the feeling something's wrong, but Selene doesn't seem concerned. A little later, the man approaches them while they're on the dance floor. He introduces himself as Henk and focuses his attention primarily on Selene. She finds him a bit strange, but decides to play along and lets him buy her drinks. Saar isn't thrilled about the idea but lets it happen. As the evening draws to a close, Saar and Selene leave the club together. They soon realize they're being followed. In the dark, they recognize the man from earlier in the evening: it's Henk. They quicken their pace, but he keeps coming closer. Once home, they think they're safe, until the doorbell rings, loud banging, and threats are heard. When Henk breaks into the house, they try to flee but ultimately decide to fight back. Panicking, they knock him down, thinking he's dead. In shock, they decide to hide his body and pretend nothing happened. A week later, they try to resume their normal lives. They go out again, as if nothing had happened the previous weekend. But then they suddenly hear a very familiar voice behind them...

Description
We are still looking for the three main characters of the story: Saar(V), Selene(V) and Henk(M).
*For the roles of Saar and Selene it is important that you can clearly show fear in your acting.
**For the role of Henk it is important that you can come across as friendly, but also scary and threatening.

Saar (22):
Saar is naturally more cautious than her friend Selene. She carefully considers her choices, likes to keep situations under control, and stays alert to what's happening around her. She can be a bit distant with strangers, but she's warm and caring toward her friends.
She just wants a fun, safe evening, and tries to protect Selene without coming across as too nagging. Precisely because she doesn't always dare to intervene, for fear of ruining the atmosphere, she sometimes goes along with things she doesn't fully support. That inner hesitation ultimately causes the situation to spiral out of control.

Selene (23):
Selene is a cheerful, spontaneous, and impulsive young woman who lives for fun and the moment. She often dives into things without thinking, which regularly lands her in awkward situations, though she usually manages to talk her way out of them charmingly. At the club, she easily attracts attention, effortlessly seduces men, and thus gets drinks for herself and her friend Saar.
She primarily seeks freedom and escape from the daily grind, preferring to keep things light and carefree. As a result, she sometimes underestimates risks and ignores warnings, which can lead her into unexpected trouble.
Although she wants to appear strong and nonchalant, deep down she's afraid of being alone. This need for attention and connection sometimes leads her to seek contact that isn't actually good for her.

Henk (45):
Henk is a somewhat unusual, lonely type. He goes out almost every weekend, hoping to meet new people and drink away his loneliness. He knows what he wants and can therefore sometimes come across as a bit pushy. When he meets Selene, he immediately clings to the attention she gives him and becomes obsessed with her.
Henk wants above all to be seen and appreciated. He longs for company and for someone who genuinely likes him, but the way he approaches others often strikes others as strange or uncomfortable. This makes him feel even more rejected, which only deepens his loneliness.
He wants to appear confident, but deep down, he feels like a failure and not good enough. When Selene rejects him again, it's the final straw for him and the moment he changes his mind.
