CASTING CALL
Temple MFA Thesis Film — A Tuesday in Fall
A grocery delivery worker, her partner, and other lonely strangers drift through mediated routines —

which slowly accumulate into a portrait of a society emotionally unraveling.

A musician struggling with depression, financial stress, and a growing sense of disconnection from the world around him.
ALEX (Lead)
Male (he/him), Age: 20s–30s
An online masculinity-influencer personality, performing confidence while quietly searching for identity and belonging underneath it.

WORKOUT INSTRUCTOR
Age: Open
A gym instructor who muses to a coworker about a conspiracy theory that the gym's weights are secretly lighter than labeled.
SECURITY GUARD
Age: Open
Muses to a coworker about a wonderfully silly religious conspiracy theory.
BUSINESSPERSON
Age: 30s–50s
A successful professional having an AI therapy session from inside their car, wrestling out loud with whether "fun" is allowed to be a life goal.
TRANSIENT PERSON
Age: 40s–60s
An unhoused man convinced that aliens are controlling our minds.
DOG WALKER
Male, Age: Open ("dad-bod" look)
A man walking his dog.
