Open Roles in "Starchild" Film

Must read as someone with both scientific grounding and lived faith. Vanessa is faith-driven yet analytical — a woman who once studied biology but stepped away from her work after the loss of her child. Her quiet strength grounds the story’s emotional core; she looks to the heavens not for proof but for meaning. Beneath her calm surface endures a steady hope that bridges science and spirit.

Must read as research-minded and emotionally contained. Tanner is an astrophysicist who finds proof that all life originates from the neutrinos released by dying stars. His relentless search for cosmic order becomes both a refuge from grief and a quest for meaning. Through Vanessa and Pastor John, he begins to see that the universe’s patterns are not only mathematical but deeply human — a bridge between reason and faith.

Pastor John carries quiet authority and compassion, arriving with coffee, donuts, and genuine care. He sees through Tanner’s defenses in a single conversation and challenges him to grieve with honesty — his faith grounded in realism. Though a one-scene role, his presence anchors the story’s moral compass, bridging belief and understanding. Must bring warmth, presence, and strong listening skills.

Must read as nurturing, grounded, and quietly spiritual. Her voice carries warmth and calm authority — the steadying presence that bridges faith and comfort. This is a voice-over role only.
