Hello everyone, for our short film we are looking for an actress for the role of Eve.

LIVING IN THE MEDIA PARADISE, MODERN-DAY ADAM AND EVE STUMBLE UPON THE TEMPTING FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE.

Adam and Eve live in a manufactured paradise of modern media - a closed space fully covered in paper. He is a lifeless cardboard cutout; a paper collage embodying masculine stereotypes. She is a real woman stitched from fragments of women's magazines; her identity shaped by beauty and motherhood ideals.

Together, they sit on a newspaper-made sofa, hypnotized by absurdly cheerful propaganda.
A sudden earthquake disrupts their fragile reality. Posters fall, Adam slides to the floor, and Eve claws at the sofa, tearing its newspaper surface with her fingernail.

Once it is over, Eve leans forward to explore the hole, but is interrupted by a thud from a nearby paper monstera plant. From its branches falls a real apple: flawless, waxy, and utterly alien in this artificial world.
Clueless to what it is going to bring, Eve falls into the temptation of tasting it, only to find herself suffocating on the images of the real world: there is suffering and destruction outside.

What do we offer?
Unfortunately, the project is most likely unpaid, but we will reimburse your travel costs and have catering on set.
