Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | TYLER FLETCHER | Male 18 - 25 Years old |
Description LEAD, $900 USD Per day (6 estimated days of shoot).Male lead, 18-25. transfer student and standout swimmer from a working-class background. Appearance: Leaning more twunk than twink, he’s athletic, and naturally striking in a way that reads more raw than polished. Wears practical, inexpensive clothes, like hoodies under his blazers that stand out against the school’s wealthier student body. Carries himself with defiant confidence, even when isolated. Personality: Tyler is bold, sharp-tongued, and emotionally fearless on the surface, quick to challenge anyone who underestimates him. He uses attitude as armor, especially in hostile spaces, but underneath his bravado is a deeply lonely young man who wants dignity, belonging, and real love without compromise. He is proud, reactive, and unwilling to let anyone define him. Objective: Find a place for himself at an elite school that clearly wants him gone and protect his dignity while pursuing a relationship that refuses to stay hidden. Character arc: Tyler begins as an outsider who survives through defiance, meeting cruelty with swagger and provocation. As the pressure escalates, he is forced to confront how much the school’s hostility and Beckett’s mixed signals are actually hurting him. By the end, he matures from fighting simply to win into demanding something deeper: honesty, self-respect, and a love that does not require him to shrink or hide. NECESSARY TO HAVE SWIMMING EXPERIENCE. Open to portraying LGBTQ+ characters. Has intimacy scenes with Beckett. | ||

Description LEAD, $900 USD Per day (6 estimated days of shoot).Male lead, 18-25. golden-boy swim captain and heir to an old-money legacy. Appearance: Tall, hunky, broad-shouldered, and classically handsome, Beckett is sculpted for victory. Always immaculate—pressed uniforms, tailored coats, pristine swim gear—but as his life unravels, that polish starts to slip. Even at his messiest, he still reads expensive. Personality: Beckett is charismatic, proud, and deeply repressed, trained to perform perfection at all times. He masks fear and confusion with arrogance, sarcasm, and cruelty, especially when he feels exposed. Beneath that is a passionate, impulsive, and emotionally overwhelmed young man who desperately wants freedom but has no idea how to claim it. Objective: Maintain his family’s approval and future while secretly exploring feelings he’s been taught to suppress. Character arc: Beckett begins as the untouchable golden boy, fully committed to image and denial. Tyler destabilizes everything, forcing him to confront desire, identity, and fear of losing everything he’s been raised to value. By the end, Beckett rejects the life built for him and chooses to define himself on his own terms, even at great personal cost. NECESSARY TO HAVE SWIMMING EXPERIENCE. Open to portraying LGBTQ+ characters. Has intimacy scenes with Tyler. | ||

Designer outfits, perfect hair, calculated presentation—everything about her signals power and control. Even her vulnerability feels staged. Personality: Ashley is sharp, strategic, and emotionally manipulative, with a deep need to control her environment and relationships. She thrives on status and perception, using charm, humiliation, and pressure to maintain dominance. Beneath her composure is a deeply insecure girl terrified of being replaced or irrelevant. Objective: Secure her future by locking Beckett into a socially advantageous relationship and eliminating Tyler as a threat. Character arc: Ashley begins as the confident queen of the social hierarchy; certain she can control Beckett and the narrative around them.

Appearance: Impeccably dressed, controlled, and intimidating, Titus embodies generational wealth and authority. Every detail is deliberate—tailored suits, measured movements, and a presence that commands silence.

Appearance: Muscular, athletic, sure, but Angus has a rougher and rounder presence than his more perfect half. His style leans casual and sporty—team gear, hoodies, and worn-in sneakers—reflecting someone grounded more in competition than status. Personality: Angus is blunt, competitive, and loyal, often acting first and thinking later. He starts off cruel and pack-minded, reinforcing the school’s hierarchy, but his loyalty to Beckett runs deeper than his need to belong. He struggles with change but is capable of growth when forced to confront his best friend’s sexuality. Objective: Maintain his place on the team and in Beckett’s life, protecting his friend from the ‘gay boy’ complicating everything. Character arc: Angus begins as a smug enforcer of the social order, targeting Tyler to protect his position.
