Forum- Short film
Project Overview
Forum is a short film about an online forum manager having to kick out one of his officers after evidence shows they have committed a crime.
The short is expected to be about five minutes long, and the manager is the only character seen while the rest are heard, as an online conversation is taking place via a call website throughout most of the short.
The short was inspired by a true story where a similar situation occurred. It is expected to be completed within one to three months as I have another project in production as well that may take longer.

Lance is the officer who screwed up. While he's willing to admit his mistakes, he is not willing to pay for them and is secretly a bit of a coward. I'm looking for a young man in his 20s who can be calm, but also last out if provoked. That is the type of character that Lance is.
Yes, I admit it. And I admit this is not the first time I've done this
Screw you! I'm not going to prison and you can't make me!
Pete is a reasonavle forum officer who believes that a nasty situation should be handled in a calm demeanor. I'm looking for someone who can provide a calm voice.
Well we need to be courteous. I agree that Lance deserves to pay for his crimes, but we at least owe him an explanation and a warning beforehand. If police showed up at his house unexpected, it would be chaos.
Fiona is the opposite of Pete. She believes that if someone commtted a crime they should be placed in jail without question, even if they are her friend. I'm looking for someone who can put anger and a bit of irrationality into this character.
Call him? And then what? Tell him "Hey, we're calling the cops on you" so he can have a chance to run? No way! We hit him by surprise!
Tracy is the victim of this scenario. She is rightly scared by what has happened to her, but has to remain calm. She can be any age, but I need someone to portray a calm fear in this character.
Um...someone has been messaging me, making rude remarks and trying to flirt with me, and I rejected their advances, and they threatened me.
