Casting "Seconds | The Watch That Rewinds Time," a 10-minute student short film. A sci-fi thriller in which Evan, a young loser, unknowingly causes his love life to fall apart as he abuses the power of a time-rewinding watch and becomes more arrogant.

Audition Date(s) (if applicable):

Late May (will be updated)

Character 1 Name:

Evan

Character 1 Age:

18 - 24

Character 1 Description:

Lead: An awkward, overstressed recent high school grad stuck in a dead-end retail job. He struggles to connect with his girlfriend, Alice, and feels life slipping by. After finding a time-rewinding watch, he spirals from anxious and well-meaning to arrogant and reckless, now living a life without consequence. Actor must balance vulnerability with a slow descent into morally unhinged behaviour. Includes physical scenes (shirtless, simulated streaking; no full nudity).

Character 2 Age:

18 - 24

Character 2 Name:

Alice

Character 2 Description:

Supporting: Evan’s high school sweetheart, hopeful, loyal, and emotionally present. She tries to make the most of their time together, unaware that her love can’t ease the unrest building inside him. Her warmth contrasts with Evan’s spiral, making her a quiet tragedy in this unraveling story. The actor should convey sincerity and emotional depth without full awareness of the film’s darker themes.

Character 3 Name:

Valerie

Character 3 Age:

19 - 30

Character 3 Description:

Day Player: A bold, flirtatious waitress who matches Evan’s newfound arrogance with effortless confidence. Their chemistry is impulsive and physical; a moment of mutual indulgence rather than connection. She’s attracted to his charm and plays along without attachment. The actor should bring confidence, edge, and strong nonverbal presence. (Includes a quick, safe implicit intimacy scene, no nudity)

Character 4 Name:

Boss

Character 4 Age:

20+

Character 4 Description:

Background/Extra: Evan’s manipulative and condescending retail manager; the embodiment of corporate exploitation. He hides passive aggression behind fake professionalism, using authority to belittle and overwork his employees. He’s smug, self-important, and sees Evan as disposable. The actor should bring a balance of dry humour and an implicit sense of control and cruelty. Currently a non-speaking role.
