Trueheart Films is currently accepting submissions for SUNY Purchase
senior thesis film Sleepwalking, directed by Cianan Allen-Meyer.

Plot: Overworked Marie sleepwalks aimlessly around nighttime country
roads with Braim, whom she has never met in her waking life. He has
been sleepwalking 24/7 since 2016.

The roles to be cast are as follows:

MARIE RAVEL (lead): Female, age 19-30. A hardworking, quirky, lonely
young woman who has begun sleepwalking as a result of the pressures of
adult life. During the day, she has little to no time to maintain
friendships, or to go on the long walks which she used to enjoy. But
the human spirit finds a way of getting what it needs, so, in her
sleep, she wanders the roads and finds a strange friend in Braim.

BRAIM RHOADES (supporting). Male, age 19-30. A young man who didn't
get enough sleep and ended up sleeping for three years, until he was
woken up by Marie. Nobody, including his roommate and parents, ever
suspected he was asleep. He has been sleepwalking and dreaming with
Marie for an undisclosed amount of time, although they have only just
met in their waking lives.

HUGH BINASCO (supporting). Male, age 35-75. A dignified and
self-unaware cafe owner who struggles to balance the reality of his
accomplishments with his feeling of grandiose pride. He abuses sleep -
he manipulates sleepwalking Braim into the repetitive motions of
washing dishes, and plays sleepy, sappy pop music to make his
customers want to buy more coffee.

PHIL WILLARD (day player). Male, 19-30. Braim's oblivious longtime
friend. They stop talking when they move in together, due to the
sometimes unavoidable difficulties of shared living. When Braim begins
perpetually sleepwalking, Phil believes he is still awake, if not
somewhat calmer.

CAFE CUSTOMERS (extras). All genders and ages. They all leave at once,
in a mutiny of sorts, when they discover that the dishes are dirty.

Filming is Feb. 28 to March 1st, and March 6th - 8th in Schuylerville,
NY. Transportation, food, and positivity provided.

For all interested: please send a headshot/resume and, if possible, a
video reel link, to trueheartfilmsus at gmail.com.

Thank you!
