5 roles
Lead Role: To play 14-16 Understated, alt/DIY aesthetic (goth/witchy vibes welcome). Shy, observant, and inward — the kind of teen who disappears into the background until you really look at her. Sweet, nerdy, imaginative, and quietly lonely, with a rich inner world that slowly spirals into obsession. Must feel completely natural and authentic on camera — not polished or “performer-y.” $150/day flat fee 10 days
Lead Role: (to play 14-16) Confident, expressive, alt/DIY/Y2K aesthetic. Outgoing, talkative, and magnetic — the kind of teen who takes up space without trying. Funny, impulsive, and a little chaotic, with a dry, dark sense of humor. A natural leader and protector who masks her vulnerability with sarcasm and bravado. Think Jenna Ortega’s edge, but brighter and more playful. $150/day flat fee 10 days.
Supporting: Strange or interesting features encouraged. White. Red or light-colored hair (will be spray-colored for the film). Scruffy, unsettling presence — gaunt or slightly soft-bodied with pale freckled skin, visible neck tattoos, and a small pot belly are a bonus. Must be comfortable performing with a British accent (a slightly awkward or imperfect accent is completely fine. $150/day flat fee 3 days
Supporting: Working-class presence. Tired, hardened, and slightly disheveled — someone who looks like life has worn them down. Naturalistic look preferred; no polished “TV mom” energy. A volatile, emotionally unpredictable parent struggling with addiction and frustration. Alternates between dismissive irritation, explosive anger, and moments of unsettling detachment. The performance should feel grounded and painfully real rather than theatrical. $150/day flat fee 2 days
Supporting: Older version of Gem. Gaunt, hollow-eyed, and worn down by time. Deep wrinkles, thin hair, or striking aged features encouraged An elderly woman who appears after decades trapped in another reality. Frail, hollow-eyed, and emotionally unraveling. The performance should feel raw, disoriented, and deeply unsettling — like someone who has been alone for far too long. Minimal dialogue but strong physical performance required. $150/day flat fee 1 days
