Writer/Director is ready to start shooting a series of short action films.

Think "Taken" mixed with classic Hong Kong Cinema choreography in a traditional western story structure (Guy sees problem. Guy resolves problem. Guy wanders off into sunset).

The synopsis;

Alfred Tomikis is a normal man. He gets up. he exercises. He has breakfast. But there's one thing about Alfred that's not normal. His job. Alfred kills people. Brutally effective at what he does, he's also a very damaged human being who's extremely conflicted about what he does.

Alfred's getting to the edge. He won't be able to do this for much longer. But when you've been so close to the edge for so long, would you even notice when you cross it?

This film explores the reality of an killer for money's life. The banality. The waiting. The extreme emotional shock of executing a contract and the effect it would have on your own life.

Why would someone do this for a living in the first place?

For the audition process you'll need to do a short monologue that you will have prepared earlier and then we'll do a read through of the script

We're open to have a woman play the lead role as well. It all depends on who auditions and what they bring to the table. If we can find a use for you, we will.

Alfred / Alfreda Tomikis

The lead character in this production.

They emote an air of sadness and despair. They're a broken person, brutally effective at their trade, but extremely conflicted.

There's been some kind of extraordinary personal loss in their past, but it's never fully explained. They believe that they're a bad person, and deep down, they'd like one of their victims to be able to stop them. Therefore everyone gets given a chance to live.

Think of the darker aspects of Martin Riggs from Lethal Weap

Any gender, aged 18 to 60 from Queensland, Australia

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

Coach/ Personal Trainer

Coach/PT is Alfred/Alfreda's target.

They're a fit, tough person who's dabbled with making money on the wrong side of the law and thus, they've made some dangerous enemies.

They want to live above all else, so they have to evoke an air of desperation.

Any gender, aged 18 to 70 from Queensland, Australia

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

The Narrator

The narrator is someone who's telling the story to a listener.

It needs to be someone who can produce an distinguished air, someone who commands respect. Almost a godfather character. Someone who knows scary things.

Any gender, aged 18 to 99 from Queensland, Australia

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience

The Listener

The person the narrator is explaining the story too.

Could be young and naive, but could also be street smart and vicious. You bring your own interpretation to the role. But it's not someone who has a lot of experience in the organisation. Someone who feels very lucky to be able to talk with the narrator 1 on 1.

But must be able to respond in a "REALLY?" and "What then happened??" for the sake or the story.

Any gender, aged 18 to 99 from Queensland, Australia

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience
