Altice USA

Altice USA

Lagrangian Point is a Drama short film about two friends on hold for room service in their hotel room. During their eternal wait, they discover new aspects of each other’s personalities and grow closer, all before a cosmic phenomenon forces them apart.

The Role:

Dominic, Non-Binary (21-28) 

A wise and well-adjusted aspiring artist who is dissatisfied with their job, Dominic longs to escape mundanity and explore the world.

I am looking for actors who are non-binary, gender nonconforming, or trans. It is imporant for the actor to be comfortable portraying both an aesthetic ‘male’ and ‘female’ type. This aspect of the story is more subtextual and not a study of gender per se, but I would like to cast the right person to protray this character. 

For more information on the role and this project email [email protected]

The shoot will be in a studio in Salford Quays in early May.
