Female Talents Wanted for "Nana" Short Film

Female Talents Wanted for "Nana" Short Film Description: Casting "Nana," a struggling Jamaican grandmother caring for her sick grandchild in Toronto forms an unexpected connection with a white-passing woman in a café, sparking a quiet but powerful exploration of racism, displacement, and the complexities of womanhood. ISO: *Henrietha - Female, mid-40s to early 50s. Jamaican. Henrietha is a resilient Jamaican grandmother who has rebuilt her life in Toronto after fleeing violence and an abusive husband. She now cares for her sick grandchild, carrying the quiet strength of someone who has survived more than she shares. She speaks mostly in standard English and rarely uses patois—except when her emotions rise, particularly in moments of anger. Observant, protective, and deeply grounded, Henrietha carries the weight of displacement and responsibility, but her warmth and determination emerge in the moments when she allows herself to be seen. *Joanna - Female, late 20s - mid-30s. Black, white-passing. Joanna is an affluent, white-passing Black woman with a fairly light-skinned complexion who moves comfortably through spaces of privilege. Polished, articulate, and self-assured, she presents the image of someone who has her life in order. Though often perceived as white at first glance, Joanna strongly identifies as a Black woman and carries that identity in the way she speaks and moves through the world. Intelligent and perceptive, she is aware of the complicated space she occupies—benefiting from proximity to whiteness while still navigating the realities of race and belonging.
