Submissions from
Montréal
Role description

Trans woman. Survivor. In transformation. Caucasian IRISH ACCENT PREFERRED Trixie is amid becoming—she is neither who she was nor fully who she wants to be. Participating in the heist to fund her gender-affirming surgery, she carries deep vulnerability beneath hardened resolve. Her internal conflict mirrors the film’s core idea of evolution: growth demands risk, but risk demands sacrifice. Trixie is the most morally grounded character, even as she participates in crime.

Role description

Career criminal. Philosopher of survival. Caucasian IRISH ACCENT PREFERRED Pinky is sharp, cynical, and unsettlingly calm. He rationalizes crime through crude evolutionary metaphors, believing survival justifies all behavior. To him, morality is a luxury for those who can afford it. He mentors Trixie in his own warped way, blurring the line between care and exploitation. Pinky represents adaptation without empathy—evolution stripped of conscience.
