We are casting for Nocturnal, part of the upcoming anthology Thirteen Tales of Terror.
Filming is scheduled for the final weekend of September (1 day only).
📍 Location: Carr’s Pond, RI – outdoor woods setting at dusk.
🎬 Schedule: Meet somewhere around 4/4:30 PM for introductions, table read, and final adjustments. Filming begins as the sun goes down (approx. 5:30–6 PM) and wraps when darkness falls. Thinking filming should be complete in less than an hour total. This is a very short story.
Story Summary
A group of friends venture into the woods chasing a local legend. What begins as laughter and teasing quickly unravels into fear when they realize the monster in the woods may not be a myth after all.
Roles Available (College-age vibe, mininum18+ – max early 30s)
Katrina (“Kat”) – Protagonist. Skeptical, clumsy, but tough. The audience’s perspective as the legend becomes real.
Renee – Assertive, sharp-tongued friend who calls everyone out.
Julie – Natural leader, tries to keep the group focused and calm.
Gary – Nervous, comedic relief. Trembling, anxious, always complaining.
Shawn – Sarcastic, disruptive, constantly making light of the situation.
Production Details
Compensation: Unpaid. Actors receive credit, portfolio use, and exposure in the anthology.
Strong potential to work together on future shorts (Thirteen Tales of Terror will feature 13 films total) and or future feature length film projects that we have lined up for eventually.
Professional, collaborative environment — ideal for actors looking to gain on-set experience.
