ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking cast ages 10+ for production of "Encore". Please, see the details below. About the project: Encore is a short drama about identity, success, and the quiet space that opens up when you finally arrive at the life you were chasing. On the night world-renowned pianist Daniel Chen receives the highest honour of his career, a family celebration and a familiar childhood melody send him drifting into memory. As fragments of his life surface, a boy at the piano, a first love, the long climb to fame. Daniel begins to see something he never had time to notice: somewhere along the way, while focused on becoming the polished, public version of himself, he quietly lost track of the boy who started music for love. He isn't unhappy. He isn't searching. He's just, for the first time, reflecting. Rate: UBCP/ACTRA or Equivalent. Volunteer. Additional information: Shoot/Performance Date(s) July 17 - 19.

Additional Character. Daniel's teenage cousin. Auntie Mei's son. Permanently glued to his phone, perpetually mortified by his mother, but in one moment, he looks up and asks Daniel to play the song he used to play as a kid — the line that triggers the entire emotional movement of the film. Authentic teenage energy is essential; we are not looking for a "performed" teenager. Language: Fluent English. Skills: Naturalistic teenage performance.
Additional Character. Chinese. A gifted young pianist whose passion for music is pure and joyful before ambition and expectations reshape his life. Skills: Must play piano at a basic level (or be very coachable). Piano proficiency strongly preferred.
