SECONDARY MALE
MALE, 60+ years old, all ethnicities (diversity is highly encouraged). He is attractive, vibrant, fit and full of life. Pay rate: $1,000 + 20% agency fee, and is for local TV and online for one year usage. Talent needs to be local or willing to work as a local in the Phoenix area.
Russ
Russ is a middle-aged, affluent lawyer, who grew up as a privileged son to art collectors. Coming from a high social class, and having married his college sweetheart, Russ never explored his sexual fantasies. he presents as clean-cut and has respect for women: doting on his aging Mother, Ethel. As Sally's ex-partner, he takes his unfulfilled wishes out on Juniper's body: finally attempting to investigate his own sexual yearnings. Sensitive Content: The film's protagonist is sexually assaulted during her university experience. The event only alludes to nudity thus far. We will have an intimacy coordinator on set during that scene and the set will be closed to unnecessary cast and crew during the filming.
Sally Ritger
Sally Ritger was a woman of many talents. Born in the Midwest, Sally was an acclaimed artist whose mental illness took her life. Growing up with parents who owned a small art gallery, Sally lived for community and expression. She struggled to contain her bi-polar disorder, and felt isolated within her religious community

Bridgette
Juniper's friend Bridgette is a transgender woman, studying Operatic performance. She grew up in subsidized housing, with a family that was not sensitive to her needs nor her identity. Bridgette has overcome great struggles, and chooses to use her past to help others. She is grounded and caring, but has a wild side.
YASAMIN KARIMI
Iranian, shy and willing to do anything in order to fit in. Must be able to speak Farsi, Iranian-born actors preferred. Seeking the next breakout star of independent cinema. Yasamin needs to go from being quiet and demure to a popular blonde girl to a full-fledged demon. Range and understanding of tone is critical. References: Sissy Spacek in Carrie. Please note if you are under 18.
RACHEL STANFORD
White, a cross-breed between Regina George and Wednesday Addams. Eerie smile, incredibly creepy, and completely ignorant. Yet, her status as the most popular girl school and perfect, pin-straight blonde hair also make her seem smart, potentially deadly. Probably goes to church every Sunday. A strong actor with great comedic timing and a sense for horror is required. References: A balance between Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried in Mean Girls, Caitlin Stasey in Smile post-demonic possession. Please note if you are under 18.
ALI KARIMI
Iranian, must be able to speak Farsi. Ali is a dad who is trying his best. He is hilarious, loving and sings Persian music while driving his daughter to school. Borderline embarrassing. References: Marlin in Finding Nemo, Homer Simpson in the Simpsons, Coraline’s dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2f9lgIYd2Y.
ZOREH KARIMI
Iranian, must be able to speak Farsi. Wildly hilarious, says out of pocket things for no reason, and incredibly well-versed in demon-lore. An icon for our times. References: Grandmother Fa in Mulan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jzhDN115TM.
EMILY
All ethnicities. One of Rachel’s minions. Slightly smarter than Kristen. Very creepy. Think Lacey Chabert in Mean Girls. Please note if you are under 18.
KRISTEN
All ethnicities. One of Rachel’s minions. The dumbest of the three. Must have a great scream. Think Amanda Seyfriend in Mean Girls. Please note if you are under 18.
ROD
White. Rachel’s wealthy father, probably goes golfing with his friends on weekends. Very creepy, racist but doesn’t know it. Slightly invasive. Think Dean Armitage from Get Out.
MARTHA
White. Rachel’s wealthy mother, probably wears pearls. Very creepy, racist but doesn’t know it. Overly nice. Looks like Diane Keaton, but personality wise, feels like Missy Armitage from Get Out.
MR./MRS. FEINSTEIN
All ethnicities. A slightly awkward English teacher. Great comedic timing needed. Maybe a bit of a hippie. Miss Grotke from Recess is a good starting point, but this teacher is a little more crusty and dusty.
DAN
All ethnicities. Inspired by real sit-com actors in the 90s/early 2000s. A little hammy, conventionally good-looking. Must also be able to tap into a horror space. Think David Schwimmer in Friends.
SARAH
All ethnicities. Inspired by real sit-com actors in the 90s/early 2000s. A little hammy, conventionally good-looking. Must also be able to tap into a horror space. Think Jennifer Aniston in Friends.
PERSIAN WOMAN
Iranian. Must be able to speak Farsi. A nice singing voice/ability to hum beautifully is an asset. Yasamin’s mom, very caring and gentle. Appears often in her daughter’s dreams.
Michelle
Devoted, anxious, and traditional; Michelle struggles to unify her family in the eyes of god and overcome a sense of failure as a mother.
Ezekiel (Zeke)
Independent, detached, and strong-willed; Zeke argues for his views on faith and family with his mother while attempting to console her.
Ian
Sanctimonious, reserved and prudent; Ian is a faithful pastor with a passive sense of betray for his son Zeke.
