Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Michelle | Female 21 - 23 Years old |
Description Fearless, daring and bold by nature, Michelle lives for adventure. She works hard so that whenever her budget allows, she can indulge a deep-set passion for world travel - and have a good time! We first see Michelle coming home from a month-long trip to Japan, only to leave for the Philippines a few days later. She butts heads with her mother Rachelle who is naturally protective, and just wishes her daughter would spend more time at home. Michelle cares about her mother’s feelings, and aside from the hassle of continuously defending her fun-loving lifestyle, they have a great relationship. So on a lark and to assuage her mother’s hurt feelings, she invites Rachelle to join her in the Philippines for a mother/daughter vacation. ...All is going well at their small beach-side resort until Michelle decides to rent a ‘banca’ (small out-rigger canoe) so she can explore the bay and take-in some snorkelling. The ocean is stunningly beautiful that afternoon, but Michelle has ignored some distant storm-clouds as she ventures further out to sea in her little boat...As the sea grows increasingly turbulent, Michelle realizes she has ventured too far out and a harrowing battle for survival ensues. ONLY SUBMIT TOP TALENT WITH LEAD CREDITS. MUST BE ABLE TO SWIM. TRAVEL TO PHILIPPINES REQUIRED BY MAY 5, 2026. ANY RACE. | ||
