Job: Yorkshire. {Paid} Casting Call: Male Actor (Age 24) for Role of Ricky in Debut Film 'TNTKEO'
About the Project /Job:
We're looking for Northern-based talent (within a commutable distance of Yorkshire) for our debut feature film!
Project Title: ‘TNTKEO’
Is a satire on modern-day dating and relationships which combines rom-com and psychological horror, spinning the traditional rom-com and coercive toxic masculinity tropes.
Character:
Ricky (playing age-24)
About the Character:
Ricky's a constant bundle of nerves. He's always second guessing himself and can't project the image of confidence that he wants to portray. He's spent most of his life alone.Barring a high school relationship, which quickly ended after leaving, he hasn't spent much time with friends or anyone else. He's often lost people close to him when they, in his opinion, find someone better or they're taken from him. The anxiety-riddled Ricky constantly overthinks every situation and demands perfection from himself. That way, they can't leave for someone better. He also has a skewed sense of relationships with women due to his normalized upbringing in which sexualizing women was accepted. Whilst he knows how to be respectful, he often doesn't know how to psychologically treat women. What he sees as putting their interests first, others will see as subtle coercion and manipulation. His upbringing has also normalized verbal and domestic abuse. Ricky always tries and, more often than not, fails to keep himself in control of a situation and when this spirals out of hand, Ricky finds himself uncontrollably sliding into chaos.
