Short Film ＜The Room of Memory＞ (Working Title) Seeking Male and Female Lead Actors We are casting male and female lead actors to help create the psychological thriller short film **＜The Room of Memory＞**. Rather than focusing on straightforward horror, the film centers on the psychology and tension between the characters, as well as subtle emotional shifts. We are looking for actors who can express emotions not only through dialogue, but also through their eyes, facial expressions, and breathing. Project Information Title: ＜The Room of Memory＞ (Working Title) Genre: Psychological Thriller / Mystery Format: Independent Short Film Estimated Running Time: Approximately 30–45 minutes Planned Filming: Late October 2026 Estimated Schedule: 4 shooting days Filming Location: Seoul / Greater Seoul Area expected --- STORY Late one night, Seoyoon receives a phone call from Dohyun, her former lover whom she separated from long ago. “There’s something you left behind.” Seoyoon goes to Dohyun’s home. But inside, she finds objects that gradually conflict with her memories: photographs she does not remember taking together, notes that appear to be written in her own handwriting, and traces of herself discovered in a room she is certain she has never seen before. Dohyun claims that Seoyoon has forgotten one important incident. As time passes, Seoyoon begins to suspect Dohyun, but at the same time realizes that she cannot trust her own memories either. Who is lying—Dohyun or Seoyoon? The truth of a certain night that the two have kept hidden begins to emerge little by little. --- Roles Seoyoon | Female Lead Gender: Female Character Age: 25–32 Casting Age: Approximately 23–35 Compensation: 250,000 KRW per shooting day / Expected 4 shooting days Estimated Total Compensation: 1,000,000 KRW A person who appears calm and independent on the outside, but carries deep anxiety and guilt about her own memories. At first, she is wary of Dohyun and tries to control the situation. However, as cracks begin to form between the past she knew and reality, she gradually falls apart. Rather than the typical thriller performance of screaming in terror, this role requires a subtle portrayal of emotional changes progressing from suspicion → anxiety → fear → anger → confusion. Desired Profile - An actor with a calm yet powerful presence - Someone skilled at conveying changes through facial expressions and eye movements - Someone comfortable expressing emotions naturally in close-ups - Someone who can convey tension without dialogue - Someone with strengths in natural, realistic acting --- Dohyun | Male Lead Gender: Male Character Age: 28–35 Casting Age: Approximately 26–38 Compensation: 250,000 KRW per shooting day / Expected 4 shooting days Estimated Total Compensation: 1,000,000 KRW Seoyoon’s former lover. His speech and actions are calm and kind, but he is not someone whose thoughts can be easily read. He appears to be trying to tell Seoyoon the truth about the past, yet at times he behaves as though he is deliberately disturbing her memories. The key to this character is leaving the audience unable to determine with certainty until the end of the film: **“Is this man the victim or the perpetrator?”** We are looking for an actor who can express flashes of coldness and tension beneath an ordinary, gentle exterior, rather than relying on exaggerated villainous acting. Desired Profile - An appearance that can suggest both good and evil - Someone capable of restrained acting in a low register - Someone strong in subtle facial and eye acting - Someone who can create tension without overtly revealing emotion - Someone with good chemistry and rhythm with a scene partner --- Filming Conditions Filming Schedule: Planned for late October 2026 Shooting Days: Approximately 4 days in total Filming Location: Seoul and the Greater Seoul Area Compensation: 250,000 KRW per shooting day for each lead actor Meals: Meals provided on filming days Transportation: To be discussed in advance for actors residing outside Seoul and the Greater Seoul Area Contract: An appearance contract will be signed ※ Exact filming dates and locations will be finalized and communicated after casting is confirmed, in consultation with the actors. --- Audition Process Round 1 — Profile and Acting Video Review The first round will be conducted based on your profile and an existing self-tape or footage from a previous project.
