(20s-30s, Female identifying) The stereotypical ambitious city dwelling lead of the Christmas love story. She works at Big Bank in Big City but must go home to help her mom with all the Christmas problems in Small Town. Our knowing winking guide to the audience. Excellent comedic timing and a killer belt. Soprano (legit with belt/mix). THIS ROLE IS CAST – SEEKING BACK UPS ONLY

(20s to 30s, Male identifying) The Christmas movie local town hunk. A lumberjack and the sheriff. He isn't that sharp and is recovering from the loss of his dead wife due to her gluten allergy. Charming with comedy. Baritone/Baritenor

PAST REN - Lead Playing age: Late 20s to early 30s Gender: Trans man Ethnicity: Open Ren before medical and social transition. He is impulsive, sincere, defensive, resourceful, romantically overconfident, emotionally chaotic, and unintentionally funny. Past Ren must be played as the same boy and man we meet later in the timeline—not as a lesbian, a woman performing masculinity, or someone consciously trying to appear masculine. He is already completely Ren internally, even though the people around him perceive him differently. The role requires grounded comic instincts, emotional vulnerability, romantic confidence, and the ability to make Ren's wildly optimistic interpretations feel completely sincere. Performers of all gender identities are welcome to submit if they are comfortable portraying the character on these terms.

PRESENT REN - Lead Early 30s. East Asian trans man. Trans men and transmasculine actors strongly encouraged to apply. Present Ren is sober, observant, controlled, dryly funny, hypervigilant, and constantly analyzing the gap between what happens and what it means. Applicants may submit for either Ren role. Performers comfortable being considered for both may indicate that in their submission. Casting one actor in both roles is being explored but is not required.

MINA - Supporting Lead Woman, late 20s–early 30s. Ethnicity open. Warm, intelligent, expressive, emotionally candid, and slightly chaotic. Requires grounded conversational acting, natural chemistry, and subtle comic and dramatic instincts.

ENSEMBLE PERFORMERS - 2 Roles Any gender, approximately 20s–60s. Ethnicity open. Versatile performers who may portray police officers, baristas, servers, security personnel, hotel or rental-car staff, dates, and other supporting characters. Strong character instincts, grounded comic timing, physical storytelling, and the ability to shift quickly between roles are preferred.

June - Supporting Playing age: Mid-20s to early 30s Gender: Woman Ethnicity: Open Confident, socially fluid, attractive without performing for attention, and difficult for Ren to read accurately. The role requires understated comic timing, natural presence, and the ability to create believable romantic and sexual tension through genuine connection rather than heightened performance.

Elise - Supporting Playing age: Mid-20s to early 30s Gender: Woman Ethnicity: Open Direct, charismatic, emotionally intelligent, and comfortable challenging Ren's assumptions. Requires grounded flirtation, strong chemistry, quick comic instincts, and ease with emotionally charged dialogue.

Ji-Soo attends a Korean funeral in a desolate industrial yard. Disoriented and frightened, he encounters Da-Young: the woman he loves and thought he had said goodbye to forever. Believing he’s been given a second chance, Ji-Soo is desperate to leave with her and undo the separation to reclaim the life they lost. But the world, and the mourners that guard it, won’t let them leave. Ji-Soo’s arc goes from desire turning into acceptance. He begins from fear and optimism to bittersweet realization where he has to make a difficult choice. Ji-Soo’s portrayal should be restrained and physically expressive. The role requires subtle shifts through eyes to convey confusion, disbelief, joy and reluctant surrender. The role of Ji-Soo will be considered for East Asian actors.

Alex 16-19/older teen. An angsty teen, but only as angsty a very religious teenager with a priest father can get. She is straightforward, popular and often enjoys being a ring leader. This comes from the lack of power she experiences within her family dynamic, with pressures that she will never live up to. Currently, at the age of 17, she is learning to rebel slightly, which is also making her more angry, but god and religion is what helps her feel grounded, but we feel this about to change.

Maggie (East Asian, 12-14/early teen) is a tom boy/sporty girl with a fun, tough exterior, fiercely independent and often a lot of energy and impulsion. Grew up in the city, lacks anxiety and deep thoughts/emotions, but still obtains a fair amount of intelligence. She is inherently Queer, she never questions the validity of her Queerness, just lives with such internally. *Mature content includes context of Maggie and Alex accidentally finding the doctor's stash of explicit videos. No cast members will be exposed to any mature content or be asked to witness such. A parent/guardian will be allowed to be present at all times on set.
