Charlottesville – Casting call for student short film – March 2026 – Unpaid

CASTING CALL SUPPORTING ROLE — “PASSING FACES” (Student Short Film | UVA Production)

When: March 14, 2026 – March 15, 2026

Where: Charlottesville, VA

Non-Paid: Student Production

Synopsis:
Jonah (already cast) is a young, unhoused janitor quietly working on a university campus, spending his nights in his car and his days trying not to be noticed. A small act of kindness from a college student pulls him into spaces where he briefly passes as someone who belongs. As Jonah navigates friendship, pride, and the limits of charity, he’s forced to decide whether being seen is worth what it asks of him.

We’re looking for the role of PETE (40’s) to play another unhoused janitor who Jonah offers to help.

Please reach out to our director Tiernan Caulfield ([email protected]) with previous film work or head shots if interested.
