Casting: 'Our Father'

Casting two leading actors for "Our Father," a proof of concept short film. Synopsis: A socially anxious, self-isolating man in his mid-fifties, Isaac, begrudgingly attends the funeral of his late father, where he meets an elderly nun, Esther, when she approaches Isaac and begins a conversation in which she quickly identifies herself as his mother, whom he never met. During their subsequent interaction, she reveals that his unlikely conception was due to a violent assault by his father years before. With this revelation out in the open, Isaac is left to reconsider his relationship with his late father, where he soon reveals to Esther that during the handful of times he saw the man, he was assaulted as well. This causes a new form of resentment toward his mother to rise within Isaac, as she never attempted to protect him from his father, leaving the two to work through their estranged relationship and shared trauma.
