Role description

Male, South Asian, 26 years old. Ideally looking for twins but open to all submissions. To play two roles opposite each other. JAY - A 26-year-old researcher for Knowledge AI, Jay is a highly educated but (slightly) autistic and quiet man who has spent his entire life prioritizing his career above all else. Shy and reclusive, his identity and sense of self are completely intertwined with his work. That said, against his usual personality and at the suggestion of his only friend Caroline, he reports KnowledgeAI to the US government, believing it is the right thing to do. This marks the first time he does something for an unselfish reason, an action for which he is immediately punished by death. Thus, he finds his morality constantly tested: feeling unfulfilled and immoral when engaging in his work, and not receiving any gratification when doing the objectively right thing to do. At his core, Jay desires a sense of identity outside of his work, which drives him to get to the bottom of the cloning scheme. JAY 2.0 A confident, outgoing person with deep loyalty to his company. Willing to speak for himself and make alliances strategically, he is the exact opposite of the original Jay. Completely unaware that he is a clone of the original Jay, he shows wholly capitalistic behaviors and makes statements in support of KnowledgeAI after the whistleblowing scandal. He is the perfect hypnotized employee until he finds out that he is a clone, at which point he is torn between his loyalty to his company and his frustration towards how his company has treated him and his body.

Socially withdrawn and stuck in a repetitive routine, Paul is intelligent but painfully shy and awkward in social situations. He secretly admires his neighbour Emily and longs for connection, but fear and self-doubt keep him isolated. Paul wants to engage with life but freezes when opportunities arise. His story is about confronting his fears, stepping outside his comfort zone, and learning that life is unpredictable and sometimes brutally so.

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.

Female (25-35), any ethnicity, is a sex shop clerk who treats intimacy like something transactional. She believes that detachment equals safety and if she’s clinical and “over it” she can’t be hurt or rejected. Because of this she has a pretty open and free way to see desire and sexuality, without the pain that intimacy can bring. Sex is a means of pleasure more than connection. She’s always open to new experiences and is not afraid to ask for what she wants, or say what she thinks. Looking for comedic actors good with facial expressions and physical comedy
