We're looking for two actresses and three male actors for an experimental short film. The role is unpaid and an ECU student film. The following is a synopsis of the film: A woman experiences the deaths of three people in her life. Her son, her love, and a stranger -- All of whom she saw just a minute before they were murdered. The only evidence left behind is a mask. Years later a man is on death row. Before his execution his last request is to wear a mask to his death. After finding out about this trial the woman wants to witness his execution to find closure in her life. Will she make it? Or was she there all along? Who is this woman? A story about the isolation of a grieving mother and lover. A story about looking death into the eye, and the realisation that death is everywhere the grieving, the dead, and the dangerous look -- and life everywhere else. Roles Required: Lead Actress: Ability to display different types of emotions – particularly fear, a motherly quality, and grief. Ages 25 to 45 Mature Handsome man: Man with confidence, an innocence so as to fall in love, but a mysterious nature who tries to hide the emotion from his face. Ages 25 to 50 Young boy: Young and curious character. Ages 8 to 15 Young Woman: A confidant to the leading lady. Consoling, but harsh voice. Aged 18 to 40.
