Media
Short Film
Due date
Friday November 13, 2026
Submissions from
Montréal
Role description

Sherilyn, early, 20s. An ordinary-looking young woman with slightly droopy, half-lidded eyes and a subtly melancholic gaze. Her personality can shift from charming to deeply unsettling in a heartbeat. She is impulsive and often blind to the harm she causes others, she uses dark humour and sarcasm to mask her fragility and loneliness. Beneath her tough exterior lies a deeply wounded young woman, torn between her desire to be loved and the terrifying consequences of the only protection she has ever known. Desperate to experience intimacy after many failed attempts, she invites a new boyfriend, Ted, into her bedroom, only to have her attempt at connection unravel under the watch of her fiercely protective monster. The role has mild intimacy suggestions, strong language and some kissing.

A GIRL AND HER MONSTER - IMPORTANT DESCRIPTION CHANGES
Media
Short Film
Due date
Friday November 13, 2026
Submissions from
Montréal
Role description

Ted, early 20s. A slightly overweight, sweet-natured young man. He has an endearing, boyish quality, with a playful sense of humor and an earnest, almost disarming innocence. He feels a little out of place among the cool, edgy crowd around him. Affectionate, trusting, and genuinely devoted to his girlfriend, Sherilyn, he wears his heart on his sleeve and wants nothing more than to make her happy. When a romantic evening turns into a nightmare, Ted’s sweetness gives way to disbelief and escalating panic as he faces imminent death. An ordinary young man completely out of his depth, he must fight to survive. Requires strong comedic timing and the ability to shift from awkward charm to increasingly frantic terror. The role has mild intimacy suggestions, strong language, and some kissing.
