Description Haley - Female, age range 10-14, all ethnicities MUST use a wheelchair From the filmmakers: "We are looking for a young girl with a spinal cord injury. She will need to possess charisma, good concentration (able to repeat the same action a number of times), excellent reading and memorization skills, a sense of humour, and strong support from her family. Our character HALEY is able to use her arms to move in a manual wheelchair, independently execute daily tasks and move in her world with some degree of ease.” | ||
