Actors and Extras Wanted for Short Film 'Alpha Male'

Kai is untouchable. He’s tall, broad, brash, all perfect qualities for the university rugby team. It’s unfortunate he’s also become the embodiment of toxic masculinity. Kai’s teammates celebrate him as a God amongst men, and this peer pressure has moulded Kai. He is “the man” and as a byproduct of this accrued title, Kai feels he has free licence to engage in behaviour that many with a moral code, wouldn’t.

Although this is a supporting role, it's an important establishing scene in which we understand the nature of the antagonist. The taxi driver undergoes racial stereotyping in this white male, privileged world. This scene is designed to evoke the viewer into realising the nature of white male privilege and the abuse caused is regarded as commonplace, when in fact it should be challenged. it's a scene designed to point out the wrongs of the antagonist, and the void of moral decency.

Male, aged 40 and over

• Skin color: Black, Brown, Olive, Tanned
