Role description

Witty and cool. Like a manic pixie dream girl but was actually cool in high school. Anya will do quite literally anything for love. Presents as emotionally intelligent and wise beyond her years, but is emotionally immature, easily triggered and will fully freak out if she feels she has no control. For her, this relationship is the most important thing in the world, and as far as she's concerned, the only thing in the world. Looking for heavy emotional range.

Role description

The coolest 17 year old in the world (to Anya and literally only Anya). The kind of guy who would have worked 4 jobs in high school but still be best dressed and have the best music taste. He knows how to talk to people, has an old school mentality and always does things the "proper" way. He is extremely calm, patient and just wants to make people happy. Emotionally very stable but can be brought to tears if he cares enough about it.

Role description

VOICE ROLE ONLY - The primary antagonist throughout the film. Never seen, only heard. He is the architect, producer, director and depraved fuck in charge of the snuff film. Originally from Scotland, he worked in the US film industry for many years, amassing great wealth, yet the brutal working conditions on his sets and multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations would ultimately cost him his professional career. Unshackled by the regulations and oversight of the industry and with no end to his depravity, the Auteur found a new market in snuff filmmaking. With a stable of talent, a voracious audience, and the funds to bankroll his creations, the auteur has new heights to reach with his next film…and a formidable leading man to star… - Scottish accent, ideally gravelly
