Mother
University of South Wales student film Mother is an experimental short exploring perpetration-induced traumatic stress (PITS) in a young slaughterhouse worker. The story follows the character as guilt slowly consumes her, creating an audiovisual journey through a broken mind.
The team are casting for the leading role: a female aged 18–30 of any ethnicity. She’s having nightmares about the animals she killed while working at a slaughterhouse; no dialogue is required. Please note that the shoot includes nudity and being covered in fake blood. Nude scenes are shot on a closed set with only the director and cinematographer present (both female).
Mother shoots 2–3 November in Cardiff and the team are seeking local talent. The role pays £35 per day, with food provided and travel expenses.
