AUDITION NOTICE
for
“Losing Sight”

Losing Sight is a short dramatic film (10-12min.) that will be shooting in 
the Dayton, Ohio area at the end of May. The film focuses on a husband and 
wife whose relationship has lost its way and are forced to deal with the 
death of their only child. The story begins hours before their sons fatal 
car crash and concludes on the evening of the funeral. Through the course of 
these days the two are forced to break down the emotional walls they’ve 
errected in an effort to find the strength to endure this tragedy.

No preparation is necessary. Headshots and resumes are welcome.

Character Descriptions

<sum> DREW: (Caucasian, in his early to mid 40s) He is a farmhand who, at 
one time, might have had the potential to find success. He works hard to 
support his family but never seems to come out ahead. He loves his wife, 
EVE, but is too blind to see how cold their relationship has become. The 
loss of his son makes him question the value of his life’s work and come to 
terms with his fractured marriage.

<sum> EVE: (Caucasian, in her early to mid 40s) She has been married to Drew 
for over twenty years but has been aware, for sometime, of the problems in 
their marriage. Time has taken its toll on her and her tired appearance is 
the result of years of physical and emotional hardship. She comes from a 
well-to-do family which disapproves of her low income existance. The 
coldness of her marriage nearly drove Eve to leave her husband at one time, 
but obligation to their son and his happiness convinced her to remain. The 
subsequent death of her child has forced Eve to reevaluate her priorities 
and her marriage.

<sum> DREW’S FATHER: (Caucasian, mid to late 60s) He is the man Drew is 
destined to become. Strong, quiet, and emotionally cold. He loves and 
respects his son but expects him to make his own choices, even in the face 
of tragedy. He smokes often and has a wooden appearance, the product of a 
lifetime of physical labor.
