Seeking Child Actors – Indie Short Film

My name is Mahdi Ahmadi. I am a filmmaker and writer who moved from Iran to Minneapolis in 2011. Since then, I have published short stories and created short films exploring various themes, often centered on human relationships, grief, and loss. I would love your help with my new project. This short narrative film (5–10 minutes) explores the friendship between two neighboring children during their final day together before one of them moves away due to her father’s new job. We are casting children ages 5–8. No prior acting experience is required. We are simply looking for expressive, curious, and comfortable-on-camera kids who speak English. Each of the two selected young actors will receive a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card and a copy of the finished film. Audition Date: Saturday, February 21, 2026 Location: Minneapolis, MN 55408
