"Once upon a time..." That is how most fairy tales begin; with a lonely princess in some trivial predicament, where her primary issue is that she hasn't found the egotistical, blemish free prince that will sweep her off her feet and stare lovingly into her eyes. The story continues to unveil said prince and after minor complications... they undoubtedly live happily ever after. That is not how this story goes.
"...With Envy" is a short film - between 20 and 30 minutes long, that focuses on altering people's preconceptions in fairy tales. The story focuses on main character - Adriana as she struggles against her father and what is expected of her in order to run away with the man of her dreams. Only everything is not what it seems.
We are currently in the process of finalising the script and will soon be looking to audition actors. We are looking for high quality performances, this is an ambitious project and we want to ensure it reaches an extremely high quality.
Unfortunately we are starting out as a company and can't pay our actors, but can offer to cover reasonable expenses. All costumes will be supplied by us. You will receive a copy of the finished DVD and we will attempt distribute it to film festivals and offer it as a pilot.

Adriana
Whilst strong willed and independent, Alizz clearly has no control outside of what her father says, so when put into a scenario where she is put into an arranged marriage with a man she clearly cannot love, she is willing to go to any lengths to avoid marrying a man she doesn’t love
The actress who plays this part must be versatile and understand the character of VENUS
| Acting experience: | Previous unpaid speaking roles - Previous paid speaking roles |
| Attended drama school: | Yes |
Venus
Venus is a little bit loopy, and is by no means a conventional witch; she will jump between feelings and moods, from dark and serious to jovial and chirpy. It may even appear at times that she has multiple personalities struggling within her, but each of them are controlled by the one mind and voice when they surface.
Venus is a powerful and fun character to play, this would be a great opportunity for any aspiring actresses. She must also understand the character of ADRIANA

Apollo
ADRIANA’s father has a past of sadness, and must portray this with very little screen time. The character is strong and a pivotal role.

Adeon
Apollo is an odd fellow, having been brought into existence from a frog into a fully functional man, he is having a few issues with his identity, he has no knowledge of his own name but he adapts pretty quickly under the circumstances.
Apollo is a really quirky character to play, strong but subtle onscreen performance skills will be necessary.

Set
Seth’s character is arrogant and elaborate; he is very full of himself and has little consideration for the wellbeing of others.
Seth is one of the best examples of preconceptions in the film, a great twist is involved with this character.
