1 role
Lead Role. Okinawan. Erika’s fiercely independent grandmother, deeply rooted in her land and traditions. Oba has spent her life farming with her late husband and refuses to leave—even as wildfires close in. She is wise, stubborn, and traditional, often using humor to sidestep emotional vulnerability. Beneath her strength lie deep wounds from World War II and the loss of her daughter. We are specifically seeking actors of Okinawan heritage.
