“The Story of Calloway” follows a gym employee named Calloway becomes increasingly unsettled when a narrator takes control of his life, rewriting his story into a chaotic blend of romance, mystery, and suspense. Determined to reclaim his narrative, Calloway confronts the narrator, leading to an unexpected collaboration to create a story they both can live with.
Our project is in need of two characters, Mia, and the Narrator.
Mia, Lead, Female, 24-34
A smaller supporting role in the story. She’s confident and level-headed, but changes according to the narrator.
Narrator, Lead, Male, 40-80
The Narrator is an ethereal presence in the film, until the end, when Calloway is able to confront him in person.
Note: Needs men who are visually on the older side. The voice-over aspect of this character may be relegated to a different actor to show contrast, but the production encourages talents to audition for both if possible. It is important to note that the narrator and Calloway get into an altercation, so the ability to be somewhat physical is required.
