Toronto
Role description

Sunday is drifting in a dreamlike state and is quiet, internal, reflective, and observant, with a whole world living inside their head that carries dread and guilt that slowly morph into understanding and acceptance over the course of the film. This performance lives in subtlety, stillness, and restraint, with very little dialogue, relying instead on voice-overs. The performer should be open to adjusting their hair if needed for the character (haircut or dye). Non Binary actors encouraged to apply..

Toronto
Role description

For our main “Lemonade Stan,” we’re looking for a male, Gen- Z (ish) actor in his early-mid 20’s who is bursting with enthusiasm. He should appear hip and fun, with social media influencer energy (he does NOT need to be a real life influencer). Actors with some comedic background are preferred - the role itself is reasonably straight-faced but the spot itself is very absurd.
