NIA

Female - 18 to 25 yrsLead Union or Non union
Project title
BACKSTAGE - still seeking and spec change
Media
Short Film
Due date
Monday September 23, 2024
Submissions from
Vancouver
Role description

Looking for younger options to match a younger AARON. An icon herself, NIA needs to support her 'star quality' through her energy in the script, as her on-camera presence is greater than her lines. Thanks! Aaron's girlfriend and mother of their small child. Nia is the emotional anchor and moral conscience in Aaron's chaotic world. As his girlfriend, she appears to care for him but is increasingly disillusioned by his reckless behaviour. Her role reflects the tension between loyalty and disapproval, as she tries to balance support for Aaron with her growing concern for the harm he causes. Nia's presence highlights the personal consequences of Aaron's actions, both for her and the innocent people affected by his choices, symbolizing the struggle of those who are close to self-destructive individuals but feel powerless to intervene. Appearance: Smaller, young adult. (Suggestion, please submit broadly.)
