Joey is a confident, feminine queer man who expresses his identity through bold makeup and fashion. However, these only mask a growing sense of confusion after a sexual encounter that may not have been consensual. As a classic people pleaser, he always puts others’ feelings first before his own to avoid confrontation. He does not want to concern anyone around him, including his best friend, Gerrie, who he withdraws from to hide his confusion and the struggle he’s been having. N.B. - Due to the nature of this film, we are working with an Intimacy Coordinator to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable on set. There are 2 intimate scenes - 1. between Joey and The Tattooed Guy (whom he had the non-consensual encounter with) and 2. Joey and Hide_n_Kiss (whom he attempts to hook up with after his realization). Both of these encounters allude to intercourse, and include the actors being shirtless on screen to portray this act.

Gerrie is a very loyal and deeply caring best friend to Joey, although she may be blunt with her honesty. She’s perceptive and knows Joey very well. She’s the first person to notice that something’s off with Joey, even though Joey brushes her concerns off constantly. Gerrie constantly acts as an anchor to Joey even if he won’t open up, but no matter what, she will always be there for Joey.

The Nurse is one of Joey’s support systems. Although she’s a stranger to Joey, she is a caring and comforting figure that will always offer him help. To show this through her wardrobe, she will wear pastel coloured scrubs and an effortless makeup look to give the sense that she is welcoming Joey to open up for help to her.

Hide_and_Kiss (dating app username) is older than Joey and exudes a laidback vibe. He is mainly characterised by being a chaser, i.e., a “straight” man who pursues feminine men and transgender women in a fetishising way. His appearance is deliberately unkempt and low effort with untidy clothes and messy hair. Joey’s attraction to him is low, which shows his need for validation in pursuit of regaining his bodily autonomy. N.B. - Due to the nature of this film, we are working with an Intimacy Coordinator to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable on set. There is one intimate scene between Joey and Hide_and_Kiss (whom he attempts to hook up with after his realization). As this scene alludes to intercourse, the actors will be required to be shirtless on screen to portray this act.

The Tattooed Guy is somewhat of an enigma, and only some parts of his face and upper body will be seen on screen during his intimate scenes with Joey. He evokes a Cassanova charm as someone who is effortlessly attractive and seemingly trustworthy. However, behind this charm is a deceptive demeanor. N.B. - Due to the nature of this film, we are working with an Intimacy Coordinator to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable on set.

Ben is a young man wrestling with the weight of grief and addiction. Outwardly quiet and subdued, he carries a brave intensity beneath the surface that can boil over at any moment. He is vulnerable, raw, and self-critical. Someone who wants to heal but doesn’t quite believe he deserves peace. The role requires emotional range, strong physical acting, and the ability to balance stillness with emotional outbursts. Tone: Quiet and broken, yet threaded with a fragile willpower that gradually emerges over the course of the story. Must be comfortable navigating surreal material and extended silences. Strong non-verbal performance is essential.

Fane is Ben’s “therapist,” but is later revealed to be a manipulative, almost otherworldly presence. What begins as calm professionalism erodes into something darker, crueler, and distorted, a tangible embodiment of Ben’s substance addiction. His voice and energy swing unpredictably: soothing and supportive one moment, booming and accusatory the next. The role demands charisma, menace, and the ability to shift seamlessly between grounded naturalism and surreal, unnerving intensity. Tone: Authoritative and composed on the surface, but with an undercurrent of menace that cracks open into chaotic, nightmarish volatility. Vocal versatility is key. The performance should balance grounded authority with an unsettling unpredictability.
