Claire

Project title
Bottled Up
Media
Film School
Due date
Sunday November 1, 2026
Submissions from
Montréal
Role description

Claire is Ryan’s ex-partner. She can be as kind, charmingly laid-back, and independent as she can be an argumentative, lazy, self-centered slob. She’s trying to get through the worst day of her life: the day where her best friend, Emma, marries her ex-boyfriend. To deal with the discomfort of the situation, she finds the cellar, a quiet place to smoke in peace. Her feelings towards Ryan have festered and worsened through their years apart; confronting him would allow her to let go of the bitter feeling she holds for a man that a part of her still loves. Character will be handling cigarettes, but will not be smoking. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Claire. Exact date TBD.

Role description

Ryan is Claire’s ex-partner. He is as caring and sensitive as he is controlling and selfish. He is marrying Emma. His wedding nerves lead his Type A personality to hyperfixate on finding a bottle of champagne in the venue's cellar. Ryan has an adversarial attitude toward his former lover, Claire due to their messy breakup, while still deeply caring about her. Confronting Claire would allow him to let go of the past and the feelings he has bottled up for years. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Ryan. Exact date TBD.

Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Chayito Domínguez, la hija de mayor de Huicho y Becky, es una joven atractiva sin buscar serlo, con una belleza discreta y genuina, más parecida a su mamá que a su papá: de facciones finas, mirada sensible y profunda, y una presencia que mezcla dulzura con carácter. Tiene un aire de chica responsable que creció rápido: postura ligeramente tensa, gestos contenidos y una forma de moverse que revela que siempre está pensando en algo más. Su estilo es sencillo y funcional, como alguien que prioriza lo práctico sobre lo superficial, aunque cuando se arregla, sorprende con una elegancia natural que no sabe que tiene. Tiene la apariencia de una enfermera con auténtica vocación y tiene pinta de que dentro de 20 años se seguirá viendo naturalmente bella. Transmite una vibra de calma con fondo emocional intenso: es empática, observadora y con una fuerte brújula moral, pero también vive en constante conflicto interno entre lo que siente, lo que quiere y lo que cree correcto. Es más madura que su entorno, lo que la aísla, y en el fondo busca pertenecer

Thursday October 22, 2026
Submissions from
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Luigi Domínguez, el hijo menor de Huicho y Becky, es una versión adolescente de Huicho Domínguez, con una vibra que mezcla inseguridad y ego inflado: a punto de entrar en obesidad de atención clínica, ligeramente desgarbado, con una postura que oscila entre encorvada y forzada cuando quiere verse “cool”. Tiene cara de niño con cuerpo de señor. Su estilo está completamente influenciado por redes sociales y cultura pop mexicana pero más que identidad, transmite esfuerzo por encajar que se pueden evidenciar en sus gestos ensayados frente al espejo y en una mirada que constantemente busca aprobación. Su cara no refleja una pizca de inteligencia pero sí mucho buen corazón. Es el típico chavo que quiere ser alguien, pero todavía no sabe quién. Su energía es inquieta, ansiosa, con picos de seguridad falsa que se caen rápido cuando algo lo confronta. En el fondo, Luigi es noble, sensible, cursi, romántico y con buen corazón, pero profundamente inseguro; quiere ser admirado, querido y validado, especialmente por figuras femeninas y sociales, lo que lo lleva a tomar atajos, mentir o aparentar ser alguien que no es. Vive atrapado entre la presión de encajar, la comparación constante y el miedo a no ser suficiente.

Thursday October 22, 2026
Submissions from
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

China es una mujer de barrio que, al igual que su marido, de china no tiene nada. De complexión media, rasgos fuertes y mirada filosa que no se deja de nadie. Tiene una presencia atractiva por su seguridad y actitud: se planta firme, mira de frente y habla sin rodeos. Es de carácter fuerte y no se guarda nada. Tiene energía de mujer que ha tenido que defender lo suyo toda la vida: rápida para reaccionar, con manos expresivas y una forma de moverse que mezcla agilidad con determinación. Su estilo es llamativo dentro de lo accesible, con ese aire de “me arreglo para mí, no para gustarte”. Transmite una vibra intensa pero cercana: puede ser frontal, incómoda o explosiva, pero también profundamente leal y protectora con los suyos. En esencia, China es una mujer de emociones fuertes y corazón grande: defiende, cuida y ama sin medias tintas, pero cuando se siente traicionada o desplazada, no lo esconde y lo enfrenta de frente.

Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Juanpi, es un joven atractivo de clase alta, de belleza pulida y presencia impecable: piel clara, facciones finas, mirada segura y una sonrisa educada que parece ensayada desde niño. Su imagen es la de alguien que creció con privilegios. Está en silla de ruedas pero su movilidad reducida no le resta presencia. Es el típico morro con cara de mamón que podría caerte mal si no lo conoces y nunca has hablado con él pero que te cambia la perspectiva por completo cuando lo escuchas y le pones atención. Tiene una energía tranquila, segura, con ese ritmo pausado de quien nunca ha tenido que correr detrás de nada. Sin embargo, debajo de esa calma hay tensión: una incomodidad silenciosa con su nueva realidad y con la forma en que los demás lo perciben. En esencia, Juanpi es inteligente, irónico y emocionalmente reservado; está acostumbrado a tener el control y a leer a los demás desde cierta superioridad, pero su eventual romance con Chayito lo confronta con una vulnerabilidad que no sabe manejar del todo. Vive entre el orgullo de quien siempre ha tenido todo y la fragilidad de quien, por primera vez, siente que puede perder algo real.

Submissions from
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Byron, el novio de toda la vida de Chayito, hasta que se volvió millonaria y lo dejó (según él). Es un joven de clase media baja que se percibe a sí mismo como alguien en ascenso: moreno claro, de complexión delgada, con rasgos agradables pero genéricos, como alguien que podría pasar desapercibido… hasta que intenta destacar. Tiene una presencia correcta pero ligeramente forzada: postura erguida de más, sonrisa ensayada y una mirada que constantemente busca validación y reconocimiento. Su estilo refleja aspiración profesional, como alguien que quiere proyectar éxito aunque todavía no lo encarne del todo (y quién sabe si algún día lo tenga realmente). En fachas se ve como un morro sin futuro pero arreglado se ve como un gerente de banco. Transmite una vibra de esfuerzo constante: educado, amable y atento al borde de la exageración, con una necesidad evidente de aprobación que lo hace verse rígido o poco auténtico.

Project title
EL PREMIO MAYOR
Media

Due date
Thursday October 22, 2026
Submissions from
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Dónovan, novio de Yahaira, es un “mamado de barrio” con una presencia que mezcla rudeza y torpeza: moreno, cuerpo muy trabajado pero sin chochos, con tatuajes mal hechos o deslavados y un look que intenta verse mucho más peligroso de lo que realmente es. Tiene rostro duro pero expresivo, mirada inquieta y una actitud que oscila entre la seguridad callejera y el nerviosismo evidente. Su estilo es descuidado, con una estética de “maleante wannabe” que busca imponer respeto más por apariencia que por sustancia. Transmite una vibra inestable: puede parecer rudo o intimidante a primera vista, pero rápidamente deja ver su impulsividad, su falta de filtro y su poca inteligencia emocional (y de todo tipo). En esencia, Dónovan por fuera se ve como un delincuente muy peligroso pero por dentro es como el asistente tonto de cualquier villano de Disney. Es inmaduro, manipulable y necesitado de aprobación, especialmente de Yahaira, por quien haría prácticamente cualquier cosa.

Submissions from
Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Dani, la hija de Chino y China (y eterna enamorada de Luigi) es una adolescente sencilla de barrio con una presencia que combina ternura y carácter: morena, de facciones suaves, sonrisa fácil y mirada expresiva que cambia rápido entre ilusión, juicio y emoción. Tiene una energía viva, ligera, con esa forma de moverse inquieta de quien todavía está descubriendo quién es, pero ya quiere decidirlo. Su estilo sencillísimo pero con un esfuerzo claro por verse más grande, más madura, más inteligente y más segura de lo que realmente se siente, como una Lisa Simpson de barrio mexicano. Transmite una vibra cálida, cercana e intelectual, pero también volátil: destila romanticismo y lealtad pero igual de rápido puede cerrarse, compararse o reaccionar desde la inseguridad. En esencia, Dani es emocional, intensa y profundamente sensible; quiere ser vista, elegida y especial, sobre todo en el amor, lo que la vuelve vulnerable a idealizar, ilusionarse rápido o competir silenciosamente por atención. Está en esa etapa donde la autoestima se construye frente al espejo… y frente a los demás.

NAME: Ted Ka-Ho Lau, MALE. Must pass as 23 years old. ETHNICITY: Cantonese *Please note we will be using SFX makeup. PERSONALITY: Ted is an only child. Has had a passion for medical practice and helping others since a very young age. Ambitious yet goofy, but works hard for what he wants. Cares a lot about his family and his close loved ones. GRIEF: Ted passes away in a fatal car crash. He can't reach out to his family, his friends, and can't let them know how he's doing. He feels guilty for leaving without a word, and never accomplishing his dreams he and his parents were so proud of him for. He'll never get to help others as he aspired to do, and his future with Annie is no more. He knows his loved ones are hurting, so he can't bring himself to show up at his own funeral viewing.

Ted's childhood best friend and current girlfriend. Have been best friends since 2nd grade, and have been dating for 2 years since their 2nd year in university. She sees Ted's parents as if they were her own. Annie is quiet and sophisticated, and likes to observe things that are unfamiliar to her - like Ted. His goofy and outgoing personality fascinated her, but his hardworking drive and his intelligence made her fall for him without realizing. Annie has a hard time vocalizing how she feels, but feels emotions deeply. Her and Ted planned on moving in together once they secured stable careers after graduation, but now that will not be possible now that he is gone. Ted's death led to a mess of emotions, from shock to anger, grief to sorrow. The light in her life has now dimmed for good.

Due date
Tuesday October 20, 2026
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

Male, Mid 20s-40s, open ethnicity, a well-meaning couples counselor with a polished professional veneer and a vocabulary of therapy-speak that rarely lands with his clients. Each week brings a new couple and a new level of chaos: hitmen arguing over who “gets the kill,” a director who narrates her marriage like a film, a husband filming his possessed wife, and more. He tries to stay neutral and keep the session on track, but his composure slowly cracks into barely suppressed horror, disbelief and the occasional stifled laugh. Looking for an actor with dry, deadpan reactions and sharp comic timing. LEAD (5 EPISODES)

Male, 20’s-30s, open ethnicity, a well-meaning but oblivious husband and father who is convinced he’s the wronged party. He walks into therapy calling his wife a “gaslighter,” though he can’t quite explain what that means. Beneath the defensiveness, he is sincere a bit aloof, and the first to say “I’m sorry” when the truth finally lands. LEAD
