Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

As a major soccer fan, Reece dresses up as his favourite player for Halloween. He is an aloof, candid boy who speaks without much care for his friend’s feelings, whether he realizes that or not. Reece does not want to participate in the seance. Wishing to stick to the plan of watching a scary movie post-trick or treating, he puts all his energy into shutting down paranormal-conversations and treating the idea like a joke. Amplified with the passing of his friend George, Reece presents himself with distance and coolness. The wall the ascetic boy sits behind is sturdy, but is tested by the vulnerability of his friends as well as the mention of his lost pal. Although Reece is petulant and often abrasive, his innocent soul shines through in the group's common love for sugar, comic books, and revenge on school bullies.

Sunday November 1, 2026
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

A cherubic, guileless boy who decides to dress up as Amelia Earhart for Halloween. Talked into participating in the seance by his pal Mikey, Boone follows wherever his friends go without much say in the decision. The vibrant child shows nerves throughout the night and reveals the close relationship he holds with his grandma, passing on warnings of her encounter with the supernatural. Unlike his friends, Boone is quite the romantic and has a not-so-secret crush on Mikey’s older sister, believing his charm can win over any lucky girl. When it comes to conflict within the group, however, Boone is a quiet sheep afraid of confrontation: he simply follows the leader with a light joke and without much debate. Like the rest of the friend group, Boone didn’t and still doesn’t talk about George with his pals, liking to think he has moved on from the tragedy. Although he doesn’t utterly reject Mikey’s idea like Reece, the innocent child, true or false, believes he has nothing to say to his ghostly friend.

Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana
Role description

Dupont, gurú de millonarios. Gemelo perdido de Diego Dreyfus (en todo sentido), Es un hombre magnético e inquietante, con una presencia que se siente antes de que hable: delgado entrenado, de rasgos duros y algo afilados, skincare evidente, mirada de cazador y una calma que aparenta meditación pero en el fondo es ensayada. Tiene un aire entre gurú espiritual y empresario millonario: postura relajada pero controlada, movimientos lentos, voz suave que obliga a los demás a inclinarse para escucharlo. Su estilo mezcla lujo y misticismo, como alguien que convirtió el dinero en filosofía de vida. Transmite una vibra hipnótica: cercano, sereno… pero con algo que no termina de ser confiable, como un punto medio entre un iluminado y un depredador. Es el tipo de hombre que parece tener todas las respuestas, aunque a oídos de un verdadero sabio sonaría como Cantinflas. En esencia, Dupont es extremadamente inteligente, manipulador y estratégico; entiende las inseguridades de los demás y sabe exactamente cómo explotarlas para llevarlos hacia donde le conviene.

Role description

Lorenzo, socio del club “Valle Real” y empresario. Es un hombre de clase alta con una presencia relajada pero sofisticada: atractivo dentro de su edad, de complexión cuidada sin exagerar, canas bien llevadas y una sonrisa amable que transmite cercanía sin perder estatus. Tiene el aire de un sugar daddy en su mejor momento. Transmite la vibra de alguien que no le hace falta nada en la vida y solo le resta ayudar a los que sí. Posturas abiertas, movimientos tranquilos y una forma de hablar tan cálida que puede malinterpretarse como seductora. Su estilo es elegante pero sin rigidez, con una estética de lujo silencioso. A diferencia de Rodrigo, Lorenzo no marca distancia: la acorta. Transmite una vibra amable, accesible y encantadora, como ese hombre que cae bien en cualquier mesa, pero que también sabe perfectamente lo que hace. En esencia, Lorenzo es inteligente, observador y emocionalmente hábil; entiende a las personas y sabe cómo conectar con ellas, lo que lo vuelve naturalmente persuasivo. Es la prueba viviente de que se atraen más moscas con miel que con caca.

Role description

Chisco Laresgoiti, es un hombre de clase alta que vive en constante performance: atractivo, de complexión cuidada, rostro expresivo y sonrisa amplia que parece siempre lista para la cámara. Tiene una energía expansiva, invasiva, con una forma de moverse y hablar que busca atención constantemente: risas fuertes, comentarios rápidos, confianza inmediata que a veces se siente impostada. Cree que descubrió el hilo negro y si una cámara lo siguiera en su vida cotidiana, veríamos cómo se la pasa intentando hacer que todo en la vida se trate de él. Su estilo es impecable pero más llamativo que el de su círculo, como alguien que sí tiene dinero y quiere que los demás lo noten. Transmite una vibra de encanto ruidoso: cae bien, es divertido, socialmente hábil, pero con un fondo de inseguridad que lo empuja a sobrecompensar. Es el típico amigo que hace el chiste antes de que alguien más lo haga. En esencia, Chisco es inteligente y oportunista; entiende las dinámicas sociales y sabe adaptarse a ellas, pero rara vez lidera: prefiere alinearse al poder (como con Rodrigo o Dupont) para mantenerse relevante.
