Neil - Lead Character
About the Job
From Director: Age 23 to 28, South Asian or Mediterranean-reading. Software engineer at a seed-stage startup. Dating is something he’s been postponing until Series A. He comes to the matchmaking event hoping to be seen face-to-face and judged for who he is, not his profile. Polite, observant, slightly behind every moment. Laughs a half-second late. Ranks people on his phone with the focus he can’t bring to a face. He wants Sophia and never says so. He knows everyone wants her too. The camera is on him for fourteen pages, mostly in silence. The role is almost entirely interior: thinking visibly, wanting visibly, hiding both. I need someone who can be watched doing nothing and still be the most interesting person in the room. What I’m not looking for: handsome, polished, charming, presenter energy. Glasses help. A face that isn’t trying. Non-actors are fine if the stillness is there.
