What they are looking for
«Eleven Years» is the thesis short film of Anne Friederichs, a Mexican German filmmaker studying at the Technische Hochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt in Germany. It follows Amba, a young woman who returns to Mexico after eleven years in Germany looking for a home that has changed. The production is looking for actors ages 0 to 28 for supporting roles and background figures: close and distant family, street vendors and childhood friends. Previous experience is not required; the director wants real faces with presence. Filming runs from November 23 to December 9, 2026, in Mexico City, Puebla and Veracruz, and the project is bilingual and nonprofit. The listing does not mention pay. Send your name, age, city, a recent unfiltered photo and any other languages you speak via WhatsApp. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Since the story is about coming home and not recognizing it, an unfiltered photo in natural light with a calm expression works better than a polished headshot. If you speak German or English, say so up front: the project is bilingual and that could open up scenes for you. It helps to confirm which city and which days you would shoot, because filming is split across three cities in about two and a half weeks.
