80's Fantasy Short Film, following roles

CASTING NOTICE - “TETHERED” SHORT FILM - small fee

We're now casting for roles in the short film TETHERED - an original Irish fantasy film set in rural Ireland in 1982.

TETHERED was successfully crowdfunded (https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/tethered#story), and will be shooting in Kerry in the final week of September. TETHERED is a supernatural short film and love letter to 1980s fantasy films and the rich history of Irish storytelling.

We're ideally looking for cast based in Kerry and in Cork - see our images and the text below for more info and the casting requirements.
