about the project

Casting "Fantastic, Again !" a short film by film students at SAE Amsterdam. The short is approx. 8 minutes long and is entirely in English.

"Fantastic, Again” is a reimagining of a scene from Wes Anderson’s "Fantastic Mr. Fox" as a stand-alone story about love, identity, and rediscovering what makes us unique and well, fantastic!

In this emotional story, we follow the Fox family, struggling through the pressures of modern life and the pursuit of happiness. Driven by a desire to provide a "better" life for his family, Mr. Fox sacrifices passion for practicality, leaving his home filled with laughter and colour slowly turning gray. When Mr. Fox impulsively buys a TV to make the family feel "normal," he begins to lose sight of what made their lives magical in the first place.

Shooting in AMS on the 9th and 10th of January (with the chance to rehearse one day somewhere prior to the shooting days).

Since this is a student production, unfortunately, there is no monetary compensation for the crew/cast. However, you will be given drinks, coffee, and food throughout the shooting days and will be welcomed by an amazing crew.

Compensation for travel expenses (within a reasonable range) can be discussed.
