Woman; 18 to 24 years old; open ethnicity, South Asian or BIPOC preferred. Smart, genuine, rule-follower. She gives 110% to her work and still falls short which frustrates her. She’s a supportive friend, sarcastic, and slightly aloof. When she risks losing her job, she’s frantic, going to the extremes to dig herself out of this hole.

Man; 21 to 29; open ethnicity, Black or BIPOC preferred. Charming, confident, slightly cocky. He’s a successful and driven businessman, and relishes in the ability to control the narrative. His natural charm gets him attention from many women. He has zero sympathy for his employees and treats them terribly, all of them, including Sylvie, despise him at work.

Male, 28, Black or bi-racial. Devastatingly handsome, charismatic, and naturally magnetic. A successful musician whose world is shattered by the tragic death of his twin brother and musical partner. Brooding and emotionally guarded, Oliver struggles with grief and self-destructive tendencies, but beneath his troubled exterior is a sensitive, compassionate man with a surprising sense of humor. An unexpected connection with Emery offers him a chance to rediscover himself and find love again. Must be comfortable singing and playing a musical instrument.

Female, 28, Black or bi-racial. Naturally beautiful, warm, spirited, and quick-witted. A devoted single mother struggling to make ends meet while raising her young daughter. Resilient and resourceful, Emery faces life's challenges with humor, determination, and an unwavering sense of optimism. Compassionate but no pushover, she possesses an inner strength and quiet confidence she doesn't always recognize in herself. An unexpected encounter with a troubled musician opens the door to new possibilities, both personally and romantically.

(male, playing age 25–30, Southend/Essex accent) The older brother and the provider. He keeps the roof over their heads and the party going, and he hides everything behind a pint and a joke. He’s warm and charming on the surface and avoids confrontation at all costs, while carrying a secret about the past that he’s never shared. We’re looking for an actor who can play the easy bloke while letting us glimpse the weight underneath.

(male, playing age 20–26, Southend/Essex, UK accent) The younger brother. He’s shy, exhausted and quietly furious, invisible in his brother’s world and desperate to be seen. Much of the role is silent, so we need an actor with strong inner life and stillness who can hold the camera without dialogue and let years of bottled-up anger leak through the cracks.

(male, playing age 22–28, Canadian accent.) George’s mate. He’s jolly, funny and always up for a good time. He’s the life of the party, and without meaning to, he’s the one who pulls George away at the wrong moment. Needs great comic timing and an easy, likeable energy.

(any gender, playing age 20–35, open accents) Drunken party guests stumbling out the door on Christmas Eve. Each has one line. Great for actors who can bring big festive energy in a short moment
