We're casting one male actor (ages 19–25) to portray a software engineer in the opening sequence of a cinematic launch film for a tech startup. This role is non-dialogue, performance-driven, relying on subtle physical acting, presence, and emotion rather than spoken lines. The character represents the friction and isolation of modern technology before a turning point in the story.
