5 roles
Supporting. Ashley is warm, alive, playful, and full of light. She is Sam's fiancee and the emotional center of his memory. We meet her in a dreamlike flashback, where she feels almost too bright to hold onto. She is loving, teasing, and present in the ordinary ways that become devastating in hindsight. Her scenes should feel natural, intimate, and lived-in not overly sentimental.
Supporting. Sam is the younger version of the main protagonist. He is Ashley's fiancee. Loving, domestic, and quietly devoted. At first, we experience him through fragments: his voice, his hands, his movement, and the rituals of a life he thinks is still intact. He should feel safe, familiar, and deeply human. The role begins with warmth and intimacy. Looking for an actor who can believably match the already-cast older version of the protagonist in emotional essence: see the attachment.
Supporting. Michael is Sara's fiancee. He loves her, but his fear of losing her comes out as control, defensiveness, and frustration. He wants certainty. He wants the version of Sara he understands. When she begins to change, he does not know how to handle it. The performance should avoid caricature. His anger should come from hurt, not cruelty.
Day player. The antique clerk works in a warm, dim antique store filled with old objects, photographs, mirrors, and strange emotional residue. They are friendly, dryly funny, and quietly memorable.
18+ playing mid to late teen. Day player. The teen is restless, sharp, and unable to sit still. Their body is constantly moving rocking, bouncing, fidgeting. Not for attention, but because stopping feels wrong. This character carries a deep internal discomfort they don't fully understand yet. Through Dr. Moksha's work, we glimpse a conflict between movement, fear, and the body's need to survive. Looking for an actor who can portray teenage restlessness with honesty and specificity.
