Comments
Sheridan College’s recently retooled Advanced Television and Film post-graduate program centers around the cutting-edge technology of Virtual Production which is becoming the go-to production method on major productions due to the many advantages it offers over location shooting. In its second year, the program offers its student the opportunity to shoot their projects in the college’s purpose-build VP studio under a special agreement with both the Director’s Guild and ACTRA.
Storyline
In a corrupt western town an undertaker named Sterling receives a mysterious request to build a coffin by sundown. The order comes from Jo, the sister of the former sheriff Walker. As Walker realizes his past has returned to haunt him, Jo sets a careful plan in motion, confronting the man who destroyed her family. By sunset, justice arrives not through the law, but through vengeance.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | JO | Female 30 - 39 Years old |
Description Female, 30s, white. Jo is a dark figure who operates with a cold calculation. She is completely silent throughout the film who is driven to avenge the death of her Brother who was murdered by Sheriff Walker. She is driven and her movements reflect that - almost robotic like. Small in stature, petite - especially when staring next to Sheriff Walker.References: Ellen (Sharon Stone) The Quick and the Dead | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | STERLING | Male 50 - 59 Years old |
Description Male, 50s, white. The Undertaker has a dark, sarcastic sense of humour. He is cynical and unbothered by the Sheriff’s violence or intimidation. Smaller in stature to the Sheriff, has lived a hard physical life and it shows. Sterling knows exactly how to “Play” the Sheriff - how to subtly get in his jabs and let the Sheriff know he is not afraid of him.References: Piripero - A Fist Full of Dollars | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | SHERIFF WALKER | Male 40 - 49 Years old |
Description Male, 40s, white. The sheriff is a tall, intimidating character who is fundamentally arrogant and easily angered. However, beneath this bravado, he is deeply paranoid and cowardly constantly looking over his shoulder afraid that his violent murderous past will catch up to him. Well groomed with no facial hair or a well groomed beard. References: Little Billy Daggett (Gene Hackman) Unforgiven | ||
