Male Actor (18–25) for Columbia University MFA Thesis Film

Job Description
A Columbia University MFA thesis film is urgently casting a male actor, ages 18–25, for a character-driven short film shooting in Tucson, Arizona. This indie drama explores identity, online conflict, and shifting relationships over the course of a single day.

Casting directors are seeking an actor to portray Langston — a cheerful, golden retriever-type young man whose loyalty to a close friend is tested by difficult choices. This role requires emotional depth, subtle vulnerability, and the ability to deliver a grounded, naturalistic performance.

This is a strong opportunity for emerging actors looking to gain experience in a university thesis film with meaningful, dialogue-driven scenes.
