Casting notice

RETURN POLICY IS CASTING.

A widow pays a price for one more evening with her husband. She lights the candles, and at eight o’clock exactly, he is home again, entirely unaware that he ever left or that he is dead.

Shoot dates9 to 11 November 2026
LocationUnited Kingdom, to be confirmed
ProductionSelf funded independent short film

Lead role

Anne

Female, playing age 48 to 60

A widow who still sets two places out of habit. Anne gives her husband the warmest evening of his life while quietly falling apart beneath the surface. The role requires a performer who can carry long, quiet stretches of screen time and bring unguarded emotion to a pivotal confession.

Lead role

Patrick

Male, playing age 48 to 60

Patrick wakes at the table with no memory of how he arrived and a growing sense that something about the evening is wrong. The role requires warmth and ease at first, followed by a gradual, unsettling shift as Patrick begins to understand the truth.
