Casting an ensemble for "Minutes," a political chamber drama about power, self-preservation, and what people are willing to excuse when their careers are on the line.

Synopsis:

Four politicians meet behind closed doors to get their stories straight as a refugee resettlement scandal begins to surface, all quietly observed by a young aide taking the minutes. As they compare what may soon become public, the conversation turns increasingly personal, exposing the compromises, abuses, and betrayals each would rather keep buried. At its center, the film is about the shifting power dynamics between these five people, and what the aide begins to see as the politicians turn on one another. Think the interpersonal warfare of 'Succession,' with the discomfort, dread, and restraint found in the work of Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos.
