Job Position(s): Casting Lead / RELIQUARY Series – Episode 2 “Confession”

Wolf Luv Films is casting the role of Father Bradley for RELIQUARY Series Episode 2 “Confession,” shooting in the Lakewood, CO area. This is a principal acting role in a short horror film, with the actor carrying significant screen time across a two-day shoot as part of an episodic series being developed for television pitch and festival submission. The role suits a trained film actor with a demonstrated range in dramatic and genre material, comfortable working in intimate, character-driven horror.

About the Role

Father Bradley is the central character of “Confession,” the second installment in Wolf Luv Films’ ongoing RELIQUARY series, a short film horror project with a Lovecraftian bent being groomed as a television pilot. The actor in this role will work closely with the director across two production days, delivering a performance that anchors the episode’s psychological and supernatural arc. This is the kind of short film work that feeds directly into festival runs and pilot development pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Portray Father Bradley, a Catholic priest whose crisis of faith transforms into violent devotion to cosmic, pre-human gods after contact with an ancient relic.
• Attend a scheduled audition appointment on Sunday, July 14th between 3:00 and 7:00 PM as part of the casting process for this short film production.
• Collaborate with the director in pre-production to develop a character grounded in both religious tradition and genre horror performance.
• Deliver a performance across two production days in late July or early August, with exact shoot dates to be confirmed.
• Bring physicality and interiority to a role that requires conveying radicalization, spiritual ecstasy, and menace within a contained episodic television format.
• Represent the emotional and narrative spine of a short that will be submitted to film festivals and used as a series pitch vehicle.

What You Bring

• Male-presenting actor, age 30 to 40, with a strong command of dramatic and genre material.
• A current headshot and a film acting reel that includes work on at least three separate projects.
• Prior credits in short film production, independent film, or episodic television preferred.
• Comfort with morally complex, psychologically demanding roles in horror or dramatic genre work.
• Availability for a Sunday audition on July 14th and a two-day shoot in late July or early August.

Why This Role

Wolf Luv Films is a Colorado-based independent production company building an original content slate, and the RELIQUARY series is their flagship project with real ambitions beyond the short film circuit. The role pays $100 per day for the two-day shoot. For actors working the independent film and short film festival circuit in the Denver and Lakewood area, this is a project with a clear forward trajectory.
