Echoes of War | A Minecraft Short FIlm

Project Overview

This an original, scripted narrative project set within the world of Minecraft. The story follows Lucan, a character who leaves his town Oakstead, Four years after the war with Ironvale. Journeys through various towns, including Redhaven, Green Hollow and Northwatch, as he seeks answers from his past.

This is a project I am doing by myself. I am using many mods on Minecraft. Currently, I do not have a release date but hope to release this as early as next year.

Looking for Voice Actors I am currently casting for several key roles to bring this cinematic story to life. Actors should have access to a high-quality microphone and basic recording software (like Audacity) to record in a quiet environment.

Current Cast Openings

  • Old Friend (Corin): A pivotal character with a shared history with Lucan.

  • Bartender: A local townsperson.

  • Old Man: A weathered, solemn character who provides guidance.

  • Merchant: A helpful local who provides directions.
