Job description

Unsent Words is a 5‑minute historical film about a college student uncovering a family secret through a 1940’s letter.

This low budget first‑time project (my very first short film ever!) offers $15 for participation, IMDB credit, a copy of the edited footage, and a tiny crew of just me and another person, plus a short script.

We’re seeking actors for Avery, Evelyn, and Mrs.Carter. Auditions are via Zoom or self‑tape where talent will read from a provided script. Selected cast will do a table read once confirmed.

Production is planned to shoot in 2027 in Ohio with minimal crew. Production will not be covering out‑of‑state expenses at this time if traveling, although talent is welcome to do so if they want to do so.
