Casting Call
For a new feature film, we’re looking for a diverse cast . Filming will take place in The Netherlands and Germany, during 1-7 days depending on the role, between July and October 2026.
Athena (V, 35-70)
The Goddess of wisdom and war. In this story, she’s stoic and cold. We’re looking for someone, regardless of age and appearance, who can portray Athena and do the role justice.
Poseidon (M, 25-55)
God of the sea. We’re looking for the character, and not a specific age.
Hermes (M, 20-30)
God of travellers. Compared to Athena and Poseidon, Hermes appears much younger and mischievous. We’re looking for someone who can bring the ‘jokester’ energy to this role.
Perseus (M, 20-35)
A young hero wanting to prove himself. While he doesn’t fully trust the judgment of the gods, and wants to see the ‘monster’ he is send to kill with his own eyes first.
5 Priestesses of Athena (V, 20-40)
5 roles, ranging from some smaller roles to having a full side plot within the movie. We’re looking for a diverse group of 5 woman willing to take on these roles.
5 Greek Soldiers (M, 20-40)
5 roles, ranging from some smaller roles to having a full side plot within the movie.
All these roles are unpaid, and all the crew are volunteers. Travel expense reimbursement, housing near set and catering will be arranged.
