Project title
Existential Reset
Media
Film School
Due date
Sunday May 3, 2026
Submissions from
Vancouver
Role description

Ray is a chaotic, unpredictable presence who presents himself as Paul’s guardian angel, though his methods are anything but traditional. He is fast talking, impulsive, and endlessly confident, with a sharp comedic voice that drives much of the film’s energy. Ray thrives on pushing boundaries and escalating situations, often blurring the line between helpful guidance and reckless interference. The role requires strong comedic instincts, timing, and a willingness to fully commit to bold, absurd choices, leaning into the humor without grounding it in sentimentality. He is unapologetically offbeat and a constant wildcard, keeping both Paul and the audience on edge.

Role description

Emily is quick-witted, playful, and socially confident, with a dry sense of humor and an effortless charm. She naturally takes the lead in conversations, teasing in a way that feels easy and genuine rather than forced. Outgoing and self-assured, she brings Paul into her world with curiosity and amusement, seeing him as harmless and slightly awkward. While she can come across as flirty, it stems more from her personality than any real romantic intent. Emily is perceptive, independent, and comfortable in her own space, moving through life on her own terms.

With an intelligent gaze, Sarah exudes calm and confidence, and yet she carries a quiet violence within her. Often without having to name things, her eyes speak for themselves. Her grief does not crush her; it moves through her quietly, with unexpected surges.

Despite the loss of their child, she and her husband, Peter, continue to share a profound bond.
