🎬 A ROOM APART — OPEN CASTING CALL

Calling all aspiring and experienced actors!

We are a team of final-year Film, Sound & Video students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, looking for actors to join our upcoming student-produced film, *A Room Apart*.

ABOUT THE STORY

Every object tells a story. Every memory holds a secret.

When two divorced parents reunite to clear out their late daughter's bedroom, what begins as a simple farewell unravels into a painful journey through forgotten memories and unspoken regrets. As they piece together the life she left behind, they are forced to confront the signs they missed and a truth that may be harder to face than her absence.
