The Next Three Days
Interactive storytellers Unrd are casting for their next project, a sequel to the hugely successful My Last Three Days. Unrd create real-time fiction on their app, allowing readers to access fictional characters’ phones. All footage is filmed in 9x16, vertical selfie-style. Stories are intimate and naturalistic, and the team are looking for actors who are comfortable improvising, filming direct to camera and sometimes independently. Here’s a breakdown of the roles:
Perri Walker is for a white female actor with a playing age of 18–24. Blonde, clever, and manipulative, Perri is trying hard to hold it together on the outside as everything falls apart. Full of “daddy issues,” longing and self-hatred.
Please note: this role includes some suggestive material which can be discussed at shortlisting stage. The team are committed to working collaboratively with the chosen actor to ensure they are comfortable with all material required or associated with their character. No full nudity required.
Fran is for a white female actor with a playing age of 18–24. Perri’s best friend, she’s a “life-loving, shit-stirring, gossip-mongering whirlwind.”
Supporting role Myles is for a white male actor with a playing age of 38–45. With sandy or light brown hair, he is a smug and self-assured psychology lecturer.
Supporting role Zach is for a male actor of any ethnicity with a playing age of 20–27. He’s described as an entitled, philandering, dishonest, sexist brat.
Supporting role Nicola is for a female actor of any ethnicity with a playing age of 18–24. She’s sociopathic, clever, and able to turn emotions on and off.
Supporting role Lilly is for a black female actor with a playing age of 18–24. She’s meek, insecure, and a spineless follower with the hidden potential to rise up the ranks.
The Next Three Days shoots 12–16 March in London and roles are paid £65–150 per 10-hour day depending on requirements and experience.
