How Far?
Project Overview
Independent Short Film
On Set Actor needed, and Voice Only extra.
Logline: As a deadly pandemic pushes civilization to the brink, two strangers race towards a government serum drop only for one devastating argument to reveal that survival was never the real test.
Synopsis: Society has fallen to a rapidly spreading sickness, leaving governments with one desperate solution: randomly scattered serum drops containing a limited number of doses. Forcing survivors to fight chance as much as the disease itself is not a far fetched action of this government. Two strangers, Scout and Blue, cross the wasting journey together in pursuit of one of these drops. As they evade danger, aid in medical care and slowly begin to trust each other, their shared struggle suggests that even at the end of the world: human connection can survive.

(ON SET ROLE)
Practical, guarded, and painfully realistic. They hold a bit of charm, but at the same time is calculated. The type of person who survives because they don’t let hope cloud their judgement. Beneath their hardened exterior is someone terrified of believing in something that can get them killed.

You know what your problem is? You smile too much. No, seriously. Every morning, there you are greeting me with that “Oh maybe today’ll be different” fucking grin.
Different how, Scout? The trees gonna apologize today? Government gonna come flying in on a saddle with a marching band? Maybe someone will finally cure this sickness, killing thousands by the day.
They wont. And we know that, but you? You still look at abandoned houses like somebody might answer the damn door. I stopped doing that a long time ago…..but you keep fucking making me look. Y’know that’s annoying, right? I’ll spend all day telling you we’re wasting our time...then somehow I end up carrying the tent because you spent ten minutes tryna catch a stupid frog. Don't read into it.
Voice Actor
(NOT AN ON SET POSITION, OPEN TO HOME AUDITIONS!)
Seeking a voice actor with a calm, reassuring delivery and capable of feeling both comforting and deeply unsettling. Think emergency radio broadcasts, public service announcements, or late night radio hosts who warmth never changes even with the information is disturbing.
