Acting Audition in a Short Film "For My Mom"

Lead. Second-generation Canadian/Ethnically diverse (Filipino or Southeast Asian background preferred). Anna is quiet, introspective, and emotionally reserved — the kind of person who feels everything deeply but struggles to express it. She’s a physics student who put her education on hold to care for her terminally ill mother. Her strength shows in her stillness, not her words.

Supporting. A gentle, observant presence — the kind of person who has seen hundreds of patients come and go, and quietly understands grief without needing to name it. The pharmacist’s performance hinges on restraint: no lectures, no comforting words, just quiet understanding through presence and small gestures.
