Actor is needed in Kolkata, India.

I am seeking an actor for my personal project titled “When Yoshiro Met Viraj.” The story follows a 16-year-old Japanese boy who travels to Kolkata to meet a 15-year-old Indian high schooler he has connected with online. This project explores themes of connection, identity, and the beauty of friendships that span across cultures.

We aim for a gentle and emotionally nuanced storytelling style, similar to films like “Shoplifters,” “The Lunchbox,” and “Your Name.” The actor will need to perform on location in Kolkata for a few hours, and this role is ideal for those at a beginner level. We are excited to collaborate with someone who shares our passion for meaningful narratives and is ready to bring this unique story to life.

Can you provide examples of your preferred style?
We’re aiming for a gentle, emotionally nuanced, and cinematic storytelling style—similar to films like Shoplifters (Hirokazu Kore-eda), The Lunchbox (Ritesh Batra), or Your Name (Makoto Shinkai). Think natural performances, quiet moments of connection, and strong visual storytelling.
Mood references:
– Shoplifters (2018) – naturalistic, intimate, human
– Your Name (2016) – youth, longing, cross-cultural connection
– The Lunchbox (2013) – slow, emotional build with strong character work
We also admire the visual and narrative tone of short films featured on channels like Short of the Week and Vimeo Staff Picks.

Who are you, and what do you do
We’re two passionate young storytellers, with a deep love for cinema, culture, and meaningful narratives. Though we’re early in our creative journey, we take our work seriously and are committed to producing projects with heart, intention, and quality. This project is our original concept—born from our shared interest in cross-cultural friendships, coming-of-age stories, and the emotional power of film. We may be young, but we’re organized, focused, and working with experienced mentors to ensure everything is handled professionally. We’re looking for collaborators who are open-minded, excited by fresh perspectives, and ready to be part of something unique.
