Comments
THE B PROJECT is an actor-driven film that requires exceptional performance craft. These roles are driven by presence rather than plot. We are seeking actors with gravitas, natural authority, and magnetic stillness, performers who can hold the frame without explanation and understand that power often lives in what is withheld.
The emotional life of each character unfolds through quiet subtlety, physical intelligence, and psychological nuance rather than overt exposition. This material calls for actors who are comfortable with ambiguity, capable of embodying complexity, and able to trust silence as much as dialogue.
Charisma in this film is performative through truth, restraint, and depth. Actors should be prepared to work from the inside out, allowing inner tension, memory, and desire to surface organically, moment by moment.
Non Union Actors and Newcomers are welcome to apply even though the production will be fully regulated by ACTRA.

Storyline
Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Female Eye Film Festival
Shortlisted at the 4th Cannes - MUBI Screenplay competition
A Latina young woman caught between obedience and desire confronts the people who shaped her, and the self she abandoned.
THE B PROJECT (working title) is an actor’s film: intimate, physical, and emotionally demanding. Characters are layered, contradictory, and alive with subtext. Marisol’s journey is internal yet volatile, requiring vulnerability, restraint, and explosive truth. Supporting roles offer rich terrain: a charismatic but controlling father, a lover shaped by safety, a best friend as mirror, and a first love that embodies everything unfinished.
