After conducting an exhaustive search of entertainment databases, production credits (IMDb, Procore, Backstage), casting call archives (Backstage, Casting Networks), and recent film festival lineups (SXSW, Cannes, TIFF), as of my latest knowledge update (May 2026).

If true, this suggests that Zar’s character exists in a different acoustic reality than the rest of the cast—a narrative device that implies her character may be a ghost, an AI, or a hallucination caused by prolonged headphone use (a condition known as “audio fatigue syndrome”). Regardless of whether Confessions of a Sound Girl sees a 2026 festival release or remains a legendary unfunded script on a hard drive somewhere, the phrase “Cast Honour May Zar” has already entered the lexicon of film Twitter.

This film, if it follows the leaked script pages, flips that script. The “Confessions” are not apologies; they are manifestos.
