His mind is fragmented between the past and present, forcing him to relive moments of triumph, regret, and love. He’s trying to find meaning and peace in his final moments but can only seem to find regret.

Young SebastianMale23-25 y.o.All ethnicities

A passionate and driven filmmaker at the start of his career. Charismatic yet obsessive, he loves making short films with his friends but will always prioritize work over his relationships. Sebastian is humble, modest, with a quiet confidence, he loves art and aspires for fame and greatness in filmmaking.

Middle Age SebastianMale43-47 y.o.All ethnicities

Sebastian, at this stage of his life, is completely consumed by his work, his art is his identity, his purpose, and his obsession. Every waking moment is dedicated to crafting his next masterpiece, leaving little room for anything else, including his wife, Alexandria. He struggles to step away, always chasing the next achievement, the next validation, blinded by ambition.

AlexandriaFemale60-70 y.o.All ethnicities

Lexa is Sebastian’s longtime partner, the steady presence who has stood by him through every triumph and failure. Warm, compassionate, and endlessly patient, she has a natural ability to see the best in people—even when they don’t see it in themselves. An optimist with a playful, witty spirit, she finds joy in life’s simple pleasures, but beneath her lightheartedness is a quiet ache.

Young AlexandriaFemale23-27 y.o.All ethnicities

The younger version of Lexa, is loving and supportive but begins to struggle with feeling unseen. She believes in soulmates and fights to hold onto love, even when it challenges her own well-being.

PamelaFemale42-46 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. A quick-witted and loyal friend to Sebastian, equally driven by the dream of creating something meaningful. Witty and outspoken, she challenges Sebastian, keeping him grounded while pushing him to be better. However, as she gains experience in the industry, her youthful idealism begins to fade. She starts to see the cracks—the compromises, the betrayals, the cost of success.

MartyMale43-47 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. Marty is a fast-talking, high-energy producer whose passion for filmmaking is driven by dollar signs rather than artistic integrity. Always chasing the next big trend, he thrives on the thrill of closing deals and maximizing profits. Charismatic and persuasive, he knows how to sell a project, but his focus is always on what’s marketable rather than meaningful.

Young MartyMale23-27 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. A sharp, fast-talking producer with an undeniable energy, Young Marty is still finding his footing in the industry but already sees filmmaking as a business first. Charismatic and opportunistic, he’s always on the lookout for the next big trend, eager to make a name for himself by turning art into profit.

NurseFemale28-32 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. Professional, patient, and warm, but with an edge of exhaustion from years of working in healthcare. She’s seen it all and maintains a calm demeanor, even in emotionally charged moments. Though compassionate, she doesn’t sugarcoat the truth.

AlfonsoMale45-65 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. Manipulative and smooth-talking. Alfonso is the type of executive who speaks in friendly, almost playful tones, but there’s an underlying menace to his words. He presents himself as a supporter of filmmakers, but in reality, he is a corporate enforcer who ensures films align with the studio’s interests. His charm is disarming, making his pressure tactics feel deceptively light, but his goal is always control.

JuliaFemale48-52 y.o.All ethnicities

Additional Character. Stern, no-nonsense, and direct. Gerald doesn’t bother with charm—he’s blunt, efficient, and doesn’t waste time on pleasantries. While Alfonso sugarcoats the censorship, Gerald lays it out with cold pragmatism, treating artistic integrity as an afterthought.
