STORYLINE:
Unemployed for months, worker-turned recluse Adam finds a locked white door at the end of his hallway apartment. Consumed by what’s behind the door, his curiosity soon becomes his obsession.

.
CASTING:

ADAM – LEAD ROLE – MALE – 20-30 YRS OLD 
Ex IT-personnel who worked at a bank but has been unemployed for the last few months. Living the typical life of a homebody, Adam comes across as a guy who’s very timid, soft-spoken and has no authority over his life. Has a distant relationship with his current long-term girlfriend Marianne, they’re hitting a downward spiral due to his emotional distress.

MARIANNE – SUPPORTING ROLE – FEMALE – 20-30 YRS OLD 
Financial advisor at a bank. Mentally healthy with strong emotional intelligence, she comes across as a very well put-together woman who has strong social skills. However she can appear overbearing and too decisive. Seeing her longtime boyfriend Adam in his current state is uncharted territory for her.

RICHIE – ACTOR ROLE / VOICE OVER ROLE – MALE – 40-60 YRS OLD 
Voiceover role for Adam’s landlord. We’re looking for a middle-aged strong, gruff, deep voice with a slightly dismissive tone towards Adam’s questions.
