📢 Note: This project was originally titled The Dreambound, but has been officially retitled to "The Time Slip Haunting"! Welcome to the casting page!
Genre: Psychological Horror / Supernatural Thriller
Synopsis:
Four young adults begin experiencing the same recurring nightmares: a basement, static, and a glitching shadow that seems to exist across decades. What starts as shared fear becomes a chilling discovery: the dreams are memory echoes tied to a real house, a real death, and an entity that has been watching them far longer than they ever realized.
As Andrew, Jade, Celeste, and Jordan compare their experiences, they uncover the truth: the entity leaves physical marks, distorts memories, and threads itself through their pasts. Jade’s childhood nightmares, Andrew’s father’s fire, Jordan’s missing brother, and Celeste’s intuitive visions all point back to the same place — and the same killer.
Every answer deepens the mystery. Every dream reveals another piece of the timeline. And every night, The Shadow gets closer.
Caught between fear, fractured memories, and the truth buried in a house that should not exist, the group must uncover what really happened before the past, rewritten by trauma, consumes their future.
A clear microphone is required.
Ability to portray emotional depth and character nuance through voice.
