The Beam
Project Details
We're look to cast some additional roles for our short film "The Beam". This short is a deadpan comedy short about a man who gets caught in an alien abduction beam but is never actually taken. Desperate for answers and connection, he seeks out a support group of fully abducted survivors, only to find himself rejected there too. Think everyday people, absurd circumstances, and a lot of heart. About us: We're a small, passionate team of working professionals in the industry coming together to make a short film and we're looking for talented actors to join us.
