3 roles
A working-class chef in the heart of a bustling NYC kitchen. Focused, physical, and expressive. Someone who wears the stress of the job but still has depth behind the eyes. Authentic culinary background or experience is a plus.
Does not need to be a real mom. A young NYC mom commuting with her child in a stroller. Strong yet visibly worn by the daily grind. Must be able to convey warmth, distraction, and a flicker of awe in a single glance. Comfortable working with a child on set.
A recent college grad working in a corporate environment. Polished but disillusioned, caught in the rhythm of 9-to-5 life. Seeking talent who can subtly portray quiet yearning beneath a professional exterior.
