CASTING CALL - SHORT FILM (MASTER'S THESIS)

Title: MINDS UNDER STORM
Genre: Psychological Sci-Fi Drama (Transnational and Queer story)
Shoot Dates: First two weeks of February 2026, in Berlin, Germany

NOTE: This film is a Master's Thesis project. We are seeking dedicated actors interested in collaborating on an ambitious, intellectually rigorous, and thematically rich narrative.

SYNOPSIS

Minds Under Storm is a taut, psychological drama that deconstructs the body-swap trope to explore identity, sexuality, and transnational desire. Felix, a closeted and repressed 61‑year‑old German banker, and Miguel, an ambitious 26‑year‑old Colombian artist, undergo a clandestine procedure to swap consciousnesses. What begins as a desperate bid for authentic lives spirals into a nightmare of identity dissolution and irreversible consequences.
