about the project
We are still on the search for our lead roles in our upcoming short film, ‘Challenges’. The Production is a well established, award winning film & multi-media production company specialising in making films that deal with serious issues but with sensitivity, understanding and wherever possible a sense of humour.
Synopsis: In spite of Sandra's physical disability, Sandra was determined to get a job and support herself. She sent out dozens of CVs and had a smattering of rejection responses but most employers refused to even give her a chance because she wasn't "normal." When Preston interviews the main character, Sandra, he comes across as a very discriminatory and ruthlessly biassed boss who interviews her with a lot of disdain and contempt.
Filming to commence in June 2023 in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Pay will be discussed with those who are successful and it will be a day rate.
