We are casting several roles in a short film. The film is a drama/dark comedy about elderly loneliness, rejection, and homelessness.

Pascal saved up his whole life to travel Britain on a narrowboat with his wife, she left him two weeks before retirement. Alone and scared he distracts himself with endless jobs, committed to being alone, he pretends he’s homeless and bathes in the comfort of passing sympathy.

One day Trevor walks into Pascal's life, Trevor an actual homeless man who lives every second like it’s his last, not one thought for the future or worry for the past. Through Trevor, Pascal sees a new way for living for himself, they depart each other in the morning not as lifelong friends but as passing ships in the night, both having learned something about themselves, if nothing else, that they’re not dead yet. A story that touches on the themes of adult loneliness, homelessness, and drug addiction. 

The short film is an independent production and will be shot in and around Manchester, November 2021, dates TBC.

The roles will be paid
