Anya
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.
Alex
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.
The Auteur
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
Maddie Harlow
22 to 30 years old; White; woman. NOTE: This role will also play the "Sobbing mother" role. Harlow’s younger sister. The prime target for abuse by their father, Maddie found safety in her older brother. When Duncan murdered their father, she stood by him, writing and visiting him in prison regularly. She was abducted by the Contractors at the orders of the Auteur, and given to a Crazy as an object of torture. PLEASE NOTE: Strong emotional range, comfortable with full frontal nudity (director is willing got work with prosthetics and the actors comfort level)and physical exertion, comfortable with simulated torture. Maddie will have heavy prosthetic makeup including dual eye wounds, facial lacerations, an ear removed, one breast removed, and significant lacerations across the entirety of her body
The Bull
35 to 45 years old; White; man. High BMI or muscular build preferred. Once the pride of the Auteur’s stable, now a liability due to his increased erratic behaviour and deteriorating mental health. Morbidly obese and supremely strong, this specimen wears a rotting steer head and nothing else. He is extremely territorial and remains chained up in the Auteur’s basement, being fed human flesh and subject to extreme cruelty by the Contractors. The content of his films primarily involve violent necrophilia and cannibalism. PLEASE NOTE: Physical exertion and wielding a chainsaw for extended periods (to attack five people), comfortable with full frontal nudity, comfortable with violence, comfortable with simulated torture, simulated cannibalism, comfortable with simulated sexual acts: simulated stimulation of genitals, simulated necrophilia. This role will have a fake brand on his shoulder, body covered in fake dirt and grime, a prosthetic bullet hole in his stomach, and prosthetic elongated finger and toenails to mimic unkempt growth.
