Roles

LeadEMMYFemale 23 - 27 Years old
Description
EMMY is the calculating mastermind of the farmhouse. She is considered the ‘brains’ of the trio. Controlled, cold, precise. Every move is calculated, every word is measured. Although Emmy dictates the fate of others, she does not get her hands dirty (in most circumstances). Her silent and burning desire to be seen and obeyed is masked by her obsessive compulsive tendencies, and uptight stature. Emmy sees the world as data; Violence is her logic, and affection is weakness, which is what she secretly craves from the girls den mother; Mama Vanta.

LeadMELFemale 23 - 27 Years old
Description
MEL is the temptress, the bait. She is magnetic and effortlessly charming. A natural flirt with a mean streak, Mel draws in with heat and disarms with wit. Underneath her charm lies emotional detatchement, skeptical of loyalty, and often playing devils advocate to feel something. Mocking Emmy’s obsessive compulsiveness, as she does not care to impress the girls den mother Mama Vanta. She views morality with a bored smirk, she doesn’t harm out of rage, she harms just because she can.

LeadJESSFemale 20 - 24 Years old
Description
JESS is the heart of the film, but her heart is bruised, guarded, and steering over the edge of something darker. A survivor of years of emotional and physical abuse, Jess isn’t naive. She is cautious, self contained, and tired of running. When we meet her she's fractured and alert, by the end she appears to be something else entirely. Everything reads in her eyes; fear, defiance, then the growing hunger for power. As she progressively becomes absorbed in the sisterhood of the farmhouse, Jess begins to shed her victimhood, not in triumph, but in transportation. She becomes, colder, sharper, malevolent. More like the women she feared in the beginning, and more like her father than she’ll ever admit.
