🌌 About the Film

The Door That Exits Earth is a haunting, dreamlike exploration of grief, memory, and the blurred edges of consciousness. After a life-altering loss, a man begins to see glowing EXIT signs pulling him toward another realm. In this cinematic meditation on sorrow and letting go, reality folds and memories flicker in and out like light through fog.

• 👩 Female, 20–25
• ✨ A graceful, distant figure—both familiar and otherworldly
• 🌫 Appears as a memory, spirit, and emotional trigger
• 🎭 Minimal to no dialogue

• 🎞 Role requires a strong physical presence and subtle emotional expression
