For the short film “Border Driver”, we are looking for an actor for the role of the passenger (28 years old). It is a short thriller (10–15 minutes) that largely takes place during a night drive through forest roads.
The story follows two inexperienced men transporting a kidnapped woman to a secret handover in a rally car. The co-driver is the more extroverted of the two: he talks a lot, takes the lead, and tries to maintain control of the situation. When they are discovered at a military checkpoint, the situation escalates, and he is fatally shot. This moment marks a major turning point in the film.

The film has a minimalist and realistic style, with little dialogue and a strong focus on tension, timing, and interpersonal dynamics.

What do we offer?
- A creative and ambitious project within the thriller genre
- Gain experience within a serious short film production with a motivated team
- Collaboration with professional cameraman and stunt driver
- Catering on filming days
- Travel allowance + any supplement
- Strong portfolio material

Description
MAN 2 – The Co-driver
More energetic and extroverted than MAN 1. He talks a lot and automatically takes the lead during the drive. To him, this job feels like an opportunity to finally get ahead in life. His presence gives structure and direction to MAN 1, until he suddenly drops out.
• Male (playing age ±20–35)
• Energetic, talkative, and persuasive in taking the lead
• Someone who can credibly contrast with a quieter main character
• Strong in subtle and realistic acting, even in tense situations
• Available for evening/night shooting
Experience acting for camera is a plus.
