Actors Sought for NKU Senior Thesis Project FIRST BLUE SKY

Logline: As a criminal shelters a distressed woman in a hotel, he finds himself confronted with a strange attraction to her and unable to outpace his misdeeds.

“First Blue Sky” is a short film being produced in the Greater Cincinnati Area, shooting throughout January and February of 2026. “First Blue Sky” is a neo-noir romance-mystery set in the near future. The film is gritty and surreal, with a narrative focus on relational dependency, projection, and manipulation.

We are looking to cast two paid, non-union leads:

  • JACK: The protagonist. A man in his mid to late 20s, working as a home security system salesman by day, but leading a more nefarious life by night. Jack represents a generation of young people in the workforce who have been pushed into a hyper-commercialized and alienating environment. Barely making ends meet, Jack has found himself wrapped up in a dangerous criminal environment. Jack desperately craves love and understanding, which results in a strange and fantastical relationship with Christy of his own design.
  • CHRISTY: The mysterious love interest, a woman in her mid to late 20s. Christy is representative of romantic and emotional phantasm, or the people we shape our partners and love interests to be in our minds. She is an escape for Jack, a muse, a project – whatever he wants her to be, she can become. Throughout the film, however, conflict arises as she begins to become aware of her inconsistent past and her distorted mind.

Additionally, we are looking for a few supporting, non-paid roles:

  • RUCKUS and ROWDY: The “henchman” type, large, intimidating men with some speaking parts (40s or 50s).
  • MR. HAYS: A crime boss – confident, intimidating, but calculated. Some speaking parts. A man in his 40s or 50s.
  • MATT: A stubborn suburban husband whom Jack tries to sell a home security system to. A man in his early to mid-30s. A few sentences of dialogue.
  • LORI: Matt’s wife, early to mid-30s. A few sentences of dialogue.

If you are interested or have questions, please contact us at firstblueskyfilm@gmail.com

You have been asked to audition for the DEATH ON THE PORT SIDE murder case.

The privileged child of a powerful Senator stands accused of murder after a fatal boating crash leaves their former lover dead and two friends critically injured.

Was this a tragic accident brought on by youth, alcohol, and jealousy—or a deliberate act of revenge? Did the accused’s powerful family influence the investigation, or is there truth behind the defense’s claim of sabotage?

The Jury will decide.

Fever is casting for show dates in Cincinnati. You must be available for all scheduled dates listed below. Additional dates will be added depending on local interest and will be communicated to actors well in advance.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

  • PROSECUTOR – Female (20-30)
    A brilliant but relatively young Assistant District Attorney with something to prove. Sharp-tongued, confident, and ambitious, the Prosecutor is determined to convince the Jury that Dylan Gilroy acted out of jealousy and rage—and that this so-called “accident” was, in truth, an act of murder.
  • DEFENSE ATTORNEY – Male (40s)
    Seasoned and eloquent, the Defense Attorney brings charm and gravitas to the table. He believes that Dylan is a victim of circumstance, fighting not only to prove innocence but to also expose the political and media bias that threatens to destroy the accused’s life. A master storyteller who knows how to sway a Jury with empathy and intellect.
  • JUDGE – Any Gender (40+)
    The Jury’s trusted guide and voice of reason. Firm yet approachable, the Judge maintains order in a courtroom filled with strong personalities and high-stakes emotion. They act as the bridge between the audience and the trial, ensuring every decision the Jury makes feels meaningful and fair.
  • DYLAN GILROY (the Defendant) – Any Gender (20s)
    Young, privileged, and visibly shaken. The child of a Senator, Dylan straddles the line between remorse and resentment. Haunted by the loss of his lover Parker Trivanti, Dylan insists the crash was an accident—but mounting evidence, emotional instability, and public scrutiny threaten to unravel their composure.
  • SENATOR GILROY – Any Gender (50s+)
    A seasoned politician and the parent of the accused. Protective and commanding, the Senator brings both credibility and controversy to the stand. Torn between personal love and public image, they introduce the chilling possibility that the crash was sabotage—and not murder at all.

You will be reading sides of the Auto Taxi Case. Should the role be awarded to you, you will be our DA for another case as well.

Auto Taxi moral dilemma:

The CEO of a leading Robotaxi company faces manslaughter charges after one of his Robo taxis swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle and killed cyclist Alex Rivers in the process – a husband and father of two.

Was the AI technology brought to market by Anthony Hulmer prepared to make life and death decisions at the time of its release, or were critical procedures neglected in order to grab market shares? Does he deserve 10 years in prison? Did the vehicle cause a homicide or prevent a higher number of deaths?

The Jury will decide.

SHOW DATES

Fever is casting for show dates in Cincinnati starting on the weekend of November 23rd and perform for two weekends. Additional dates will be added depending on local interest and will be communicated to actors well in advance.
