Ji-Soo

Male - 35 to 45 yrsLead Non union
Project title
A Funeral
Media
Short Film
Due date
Friday July 31, 2026
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

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.

Role description

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.

Role description

Darius is Cher’s cousin, but among loved ones he goes by the nick-name ‘Sneaky D’. We first see him at the family gathering Cher’s mother Ethel hosts to celebrate her release from prison. Warm, gregarious with a kinda’ Kevin Hart vibe, he is much-loved by the entire family, that is in spite of a checkered past that has not always landed him on the right side of the law. ...When Cynthia realizes she will have to break into Tyson’s home, Cher suggests they get Sneaky D on board to offer some “accelerated cat burglar lessons.” At first glance, Sneaky D comes off more of a jokester than a tech-savvy burglar, but Cher knows him better - she is fully confident in his ability to help Cynthia break into Tyson’s house, crack his safe and depart without detection.

As the success of their business grew, over time Cynthia and Tyson’s marriage began to un-ravel. Soon after Cher was framed and sent to prison for the murder of her ex-husband P.J., Cynthia learnt of Tyson’s various affairs, and that he’d been siphoning money from their business for quite some time. Now he’s lavishly spending that money on himself, and his much-younger fiancé, Jill. ...Tyson’s good-looks, charm and cunning instinct to keep one step ahead of the law have allowed him to get away with various crimes, including murder.

Winters for which Cher was convicted of second degree murder. Because her team failed to locate the murder weapon, Cher could not be convicted of first-degree murder...Tibbs thought this was a terrible miss-carriage of justice and that Cher should have been put away for a much longer time than six years with good behaviour. When Cher is released from prison, Tibbs is intent to catch her in any parole violation so she can put her back behind bars. ...With help from Sneaky D and Frenchie, and the retrieval of the murder weapon from a safe in Tyson’s home, Cher ultimately proves her innocence. A decent cop and a woman of integrity, Detective Tibbs apologizes to Cher for her animosity. ANY RACE
