6 roles

ErinFemale40-59 y.o.Indian/South Asian

Erin is a mentally unstable yet tender-hearted woman who fervently believes she is on her way to her daughter’s movie premiere—though it’s unclear if this daughter or premiere truly exists. She dresses in a way that’s slightly out of place and loves to “mother” people, offering advice and scolding them (politely) if they don’t follow her lead. Despite her fragile mental state, she exudes a purity of heart.

Sarah's FatherMale30-39 y.o.White / Caucasian

Featured in a flashback. A handsome, hardworking professional (teacher or accountant). Family is the center of his universe, giving him purpose. In this nostalgic memory, he is loving and hopeful, yet in the present, he’s facing dementia, adding strain to his marriage.

Sarah's MotherFemale30-39 y.o.Indian/South Asian

A pretty, forward-looking woman brimming with love and optimism for her family’s future. Shares a special bond with young Sarah; this is a time of hope and joyous possibilities.

Fake Film Male LeadMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Charismatic, comedic-turned-romantic lead with rich “Californian/British” flair. Think Hugh Grant/Tom Cruise type vibe. Portrays a producer/mentor figure who finds himself in an unlikely romance with the younger female artist.

Fake Film Female LeadFemale20-29 y.o.Indian/South Asian

Additional Character. A vibrant young singer-artist on the verge of a breakthrough. Initially at odds with the older male lead, but grows into a romantic storyline. MUSICAL TALENT A PLUS.

Uber DriverMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. Comfortable driving on camera; valid driver’s license needed. Minimal or non-speaking role with subtle reactions.
