Description
For a warm and relatable short film, I'm looking for three enthusiastic actors who enjoy creating something genuine together. Acting experience is a plus, but I find motivation, enjoyment of acting, and an open, honest acting style just as important. Even if you're just starting out or primarily an amateur, you're more than welcome to apply.

Leading role: Lieke
Woman | 18–22 years
About the character:
Lieke is an open, enthusiastic, and eager-to-learn culinary student. She has a natural charm and quickly puts others at ease. However, behind that warm exterior lies a hidden struggle: the pressure she puts on herself to always perform and be the best version of herself.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) experience with acting (theatre and/or film – amateur level is fine)
- You feel comfortable with improvisation
- Subtle playing, sense of timing and humor


Supporting role: Anna
Woman | 18–22 years
About the character:
Anna is an empathetic classmate and a good friend. She immediately senses when Lieke is struggling and tries to reassure her gently, sometimes playfully. Her strength lies in small gestures, humor, and simply being there.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) acting experience (theater/film, amateur is welcome)
- Natural, warm appearance
- Willingness to improvise and search for real moments together

Supporting role: Tim
Man | 17–23 years
About the character:
Tim is a calm, level-headed classmate who often stands next to Lieke in the kitchen. He's a keen observer and quickly notices when she's getting ahead of herself. With dry humor or practical suggestions, he manages to relieve her stress.

What are we looking for?
- (Some) acting experience (theater/film, amateur level is fine)
- Subtle playing, sense of timing and humor
- Open attitude towards improvisation

Why join?
Because you get to tell a story with a small, dedicated team that revolves around real people and relatable emotions. There's plenty of room to brainstorm, improvise, and truly make your character your own. We create a pleasant, safe set where collaboration, trust, and fun during filming are paramount.
