Casting for Short Film "Bruce & Marty"

"Bruce & Marty" is a dark, surrealist comedy taking place in a totalitarian
(yet wholly incompetent) society of CONTROL. Two detectives are hired by an
entity called CONTROL. CONTROL controls everything, yet has absolutely no
idea what is going on. A massive, all-seeing, and all-powerful computer that
directly controls nearly all aspects of society and is utterly incompetent.
Crushed under its own magnificence and bureaucracy, the computer spits out a
request: the machine wants “It.” Something is missing. However, no one quite
knows what “It” is, described cryptically as “a particular person, animal,
or object of undetermined size, shape, and/or weight of great interest,
importance, value and/or impact on persons, animals, or objects unknown.
Details to follow.”

Casting Information:

Bruce
Description: male, 30-40's, slightly heavyset
Personality: Calm, confident, logical without being robotic. He looks at
things from a rational yet sensible way. Extremely well spoken and
intelligent. Often mistaken for a snob, he's really just particular about
things. Someone you would imagine being the world's best librarian. 


Marty 
Description: male, late 20's - 30's, thin
Personality: Emotional, passionate, funny. Lights up a room without being an
obnoxious attention seeker. Looks at things from a humanistic, organic,
creative way. Challenges authority when confronted with contradictory or
hypocritical ideas. Wicked smart as well. 


Clerk
Description: male, any age/build
Personality: A sad, lonely underling stuck in the gears of a monolithic
organization he can't possibly comprehend. Intensely tragic, like a lost
puppy with three legs. 


Manager
Description: male, 40's, any build
Personality: Stoic corporate man to the core. Audience should be uncertain
if he is an actual person or programmed industrial robot. Never blinks.


Woman
Description: female, 20's-30's, any build
Personality: An explorer, a wanderer. Someone who has a lot of secrets but
tells them to the right person. Possibly the love of someone's life,
possibly not. An unknown quantity. 


Man
Description: male, 30's-40's, thin 
Personality: A strange man outside of the system. An enigma, an overseer.
Has no lines, but going for striking, unique appearance to create a sense of
unease, tension, possibly dread. 


Control (Voice)
Description: male voice, deep yet smooth.
Personality: A calm yet infuriating voice. Totalitarian, incompetent, but
utterly confident. Impossible to see own contradictions. Like if you were
stuck on the phone with the IRS for eternity, and you didn't know why you
had to call them. If Franz Kafka wrote automated phone messages.
