Job Description: Half Empty is a coming-of-age LGBTQ+ short film about nostalgia, regret, and the love that slips away before it can begin. Waiting alone in a coffee shop, Sophia reflects on her almost-relationship with her childhood best friend, Callie. In flashbacks, we see stolen glances, playful teasing, and the moment reality intrudes: a text from Ethan, the boy Sophia is expected to choose. She walks away, leaving Callie—and her true feelings—behind.

Back in the present, Sophia stares into her half-empty cup, realizing what she’s truly waiting for is gone. Half Empty is a powerful, intimate story, offering actors a chance to explore deep emotion through subtle storytelling, with meaningful LGBTQ+ representation and a nostalgic tone.

CASTING Sophia:
Age: 18-22
Any Ethnicity
Quiet, introspective, and torn between expectation and desire. She’s composed on the outside but filled with unspoken emotions. Strong nonverbal acting skills to convey nostalgia, regret, and internal conflict is important.
