Where Shadows Keep
Seeking People
CASTING CALL – Short Horror Film (Non-Union, Ontario) Project Title: Where Shadows Keep Format: 15-minute short film Shooting Dates: November 21-24, 2025 (3–4 days) Location: Forestville / Turkey Point area (approx. 2 hrs from Toronto) Compensation: 1 Meal / day, snacks, short film credit, accommodation provided near set for duration of filming Union Status: Non-Union Logline In a decaying home haunted by grief, a lonely boy and his friend awaken the spirit of a mother whose love, consumed by loss, transcends death — and hungers to claim her son once more. Roles Agnes / The Witch (Female, 30s–40s): Once a healer and mother, now bound by grief. Maternal yet volatile — shifting between sorrow, warmth, and menace. Needs an actor with a strong emotional range who can move between quiet vulnerability and sudden rage. (Tenderness, despair.) The Boy (Male, 13–16): Adventurous, restless, and quietly wounded by neglect. Drawn to danger and starved for maternal affection, he becomes the perfect vessel for Agnes’ obsession. Requires emotional vulnerability and the ability to play entranced/possessed states. The Girl (Female, 12–16): Cautious and intuitive. She becomes the audience’s anchor — wounded by a tragic loss, protective of her friend, vulnerable, brave and defiant against the witch. Role involves minor stunts (running, falling to the ground, crawling, forcefully swinging a medium sized object against wall). Safety mats and other precautions will be in place. Experience with movement (dance, gymnastics, etc.) is an asset but not required. Audition Instructions Submit a self-tape audition: Read individual lines AND scene lines for your role. If auditioning for the Girl, please feel free to read lines from either or both scenes provided, although both is not a requirement (Girl, Agnes, Boy). Upload your video to the form. Headshot (recent photo is fine for newcomers). Resume (optional). How to Submit Please complete the submission form here: [https://forms.gle/7R8KXSNy7kWag8JH8] Deadline: October 19, 2025 Callbacks will be conducted via Zoom or in-person in the Oakville area.
