About the position

We are looking for a lead actress for a video shoot in Venice for an original rock song titled "Borderline Personality Disorder." The song is an alt-rock piece that will also have a dance version. The concept of the video revolves around a dream picnic date at the beach, where the songwriter and performer (myself) and the actress will engage in a light-hearted conversation. As the date progresses, I will play the song, and the narrative will take a turn when the actress questions if the song is about her. This leads to a dramatic scene where her character, initially enjoying the moment, becomes enraged and destroys the picnic setup, including smashing my guitar, culminating in a chase through the streets. The video shoot is intended to be a fun and creative process, and while I may have a videographer, I am also open to using a cell phone for a proof of concept. I have experience in the industry and will ensure that the shoot is efficient, aiming to complete everything within an hour. The actress will not be compensated monetarily, as this project is intended for her reel and creative collaboration. We are looking for an attractive woman of any age or race who can portray both sweet and psychotic characteristics. The wardrobe will be casual yet attractive, and we may incorporate some makeup for the final scenes. The shoot will take place at the beach at a time that is convenient for the actress, as I can adjust my schedule to accommodate her availability, provided it is during daylight hours. Your input and creativity will be highly valued throughout this collaborative effort.
