Seeking Young Talents for 'Sloth' Sci-Fi Adventure Short Film
Synopsis: In a distant future, a mindless addiction to technology has caused many human beings to regress into a primitive state and become known as "sloths". While most of unaffected humanity has left Earth and settled among the solar system, some have chosen to stay. Years after the death of his infant daughter, Shepherd Walden comes across a child sloth that is able to speak. In a journey through nature, Shepherd attempts to fully cure the child of its primitivity and get the boy to the last rocket that will ever leave Earth. Additional Information: Copy, credit, and meals will be provided. Transportation to filming locations can also be arranged if necessary. A guardian of the actor is allowed and encouraged to accompany him on set. I intend to shoot the project throughout the month of July in the Metro Atlanta area; mainly in Marietta, Acworth, and Kennesaw. Specific dates depend on actor availability. This role will likely cause the actor to report to set on 4-5 individual days.
1 role
Sloth is the primitive child that Shepherd Walden comes across and attempts to help. He has a stoic and reserved disposition, only capable of speaking in increments of a few words, but opens up to be more outwardly expressive and energetic as the plot moves forward. The performance is largely physical and nuanced, as the dialogue is minimal.
