Ellie and Jules, two quick-witted but impulsive college students, drag their tight-knit friend group on a road trip to investigate a bizarre internet lead—an alleged cursed artifact hidden in the middle of nowhere. When they find the artifact—a strange, unassuming object—Ellie jokingly attempts to use its power. In a blink, Jules is gone. Panic and dread overcome the group before, not even thirty seconds later, she’s back. Only now..something’s..off. They try everything in their power to bring Jules back to normalcy, yet nothing seems to work. Ellie becomes obsessed with fixing what she broke, while Jules decays and the friend group falls apart. As the events of the following week grow stranger, Ellie’s desperation turns to horror. I’m Sorry explores guilt, denial, and the unfathomable terror of potentially losing someone twice.

This is a paid project for all CAST and CREW. The rate, however, is TBD for the time being.

Looking For:

Cast:

Ellie (Lead – Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

A youthful energy and sense of adventure that transforms into an exhausted desperation.

Jules (Lead – Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

A lifelong friend of Ellie’s and the heartbeat of the friend group. She begins the film energetic, playful, and warm, but we see those traits quickly replaced with a cold, soulless vacancy after her encounter with the artifact,

Sonia (Supporting – Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

Scared and confused, but willing to maintain hope in the groups ability to bring back the Jules that they know.

Steph (Supporting – Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

Headstrong and assured, takes it upon herself to make the hard decisions for the group.

Georgia (Supporting – Female, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

Mentally lost and consistently overwhelmed. Griffin’s sister.

Griffin (Supporting – Male, Any Ethnicity, 18-30)

The one in the group doing what he can to keep everyone together. Georgia’s brother.
