Job details

Casting: Couch Potato

A short film (under 3 minutes) centered around a couch potato: The main character spends his days lounging on the couch – snacking, watching TV, and playing video games – while life unfolds around him. Over time, we witness key moments happening in the same space: his friend hosts a party, friends chat on the couch, but he stays uninterested. Later, that same friend proposes to his girlfriend in the living room, yet the couch potato doesn't react. It’s only when the friend blocks the TV screen that he finally shows some emotion – annoyed at first, he then pats the empty seat beside him and offers a beer. His friend sits down, and together they become two couch potatoes, side by side. No dialogue, all in one shot.
