Actors Needed for 'The Last Supper' Short

Riley is a thoughtful and intelligent, caught between self-acceptance and the fear of rejection from her deeply religious family. Studying health sciences at Stanford, she appears to have it all together, she struggles with being honest about who she is. Moving away for school allowed her the freedom to be herself, as she’s been keeping her relationship with Bree a secret from her family, until now.

Sarah is a deeply religious and traditional woman who values adherence to the status quo. Outgoing and social, she takes pride in the image of a perfect family and becomes uncomfortable when things deviate from her expectations. When Riley comes out, Sarah reacts with denial and rejection, unable to accept a reality that challenges her beliefs, but er love for her daughter ultimately pushes her toward reluctant growth.

Sarcastic and teasing, Dimitri often pokes fun at Riley but doesn’t seem malicious. He is confident, likely the golden child of the family. Though his humour can be biting, he doesn’t seem to hold strong opinions on his sister’s sexuality but he’s protective of her (deep down).

Mark's your typical silly dad, who likes to make jokes and teases his kids. He's always been supportive of his kids, mainly only dealing with sports decisions, as he's never been in a deep conflict with his kids. While not overtly supportive of Riley’s sexuality, he isn’t as resistant as Sarah. He struggles to navigate the tension between his wife’s beliefs and his love for his daughter. He wants his kids to grow up and have a family like him and he feels that can’t happen with Riley choices.

Reid is a polite and academically focused young man. He is used as a potential love interest for Riley, despite having no actual romantic interest in her. His presence is mostly for comedic and awkward moments, he tends to go along with things to avoid conflict, as Sarah tries to play matchmaker.

Bree gives off a warm, confident, and loving vibe. She is unafraid to express affection for Riley, even in front of others. She comes from a more accepting background, which contrasts with Riley’s struggle. Bree represents a supportive and healthy love, offering Riley a sense of security amidst her turmoil. Bree is a bit of a sporty person studying kinesiology at school and grew up playing sports, she loves going out and being social, as she is kind and not afraid to be herself.

Alice's an old college friend of Sarah’s and the mother of Reid and Bree. Her presence is warm and welcome, although friends with Sarah, she evolved with a very different perspective of life. Being a single mom, her kids are all she has, and her love for them isn’t conditional. She's witty and supportive towards daughter's decision to be gay. Although growing up in a religious household, she understands that people are different and is open to the idea of people being whoever they want to be.
