SHORT FILM IN NASHVILLE

Tuesday, July 29 2025

CASTING CALL – DRAMATIC SHORT FILM
The Last Light
Independent Short Film
Production Dates: 1st - 3rd of August 
Nashville , TN
Compensation: $1000 Total, Reel, IMDb Credit

SYNOPSIS

The last light is a character driven short film that unfolds over a single afternoon in a quiet, rural home. After the death of their mother, three adult siblings reunite to sort through her belongings and face the emotional residue of a fractured upbringing. As memories resurface and old dynamics re-emerge, the line between affection and resentment blurs, leaving each of them with a choice hold onto the past or risk rebuilding something fragile and new.

LEAD ROLES
Evan (Male, 20–25)
Stoic, introspective, and emotionally distant. Left home years ago in pursuit of independence, but at the cost of connection. Now must confront the emotional mess he abandoned.

Rae (Female, 19–24)
Resilient and sharply honest. The sibling who stayed behind. Bitter over being left to care for their mother, yet vulnerable beneath the anger. Wields silence like a weapon.

Lena (Female, 18–23)
The youngest sibling. Quiet, observant, and highly perceptive. Often overlooked, but emotionally tuned in. She keeps peace but carries her own quiet grief. Her words, when they come, cut deep.

SUPPORTING ROLE
Angela (Female, 30s–40s)
A family friend and neighbor. Wise, warm, and steady. She knows more about the family than she lets on. She’s a quiet emotional anchor, helping the siblings navigate grief without pushing.
