Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Raven | Female 18 - 35 Years old |
Description Longs for closeness while fearing vulnerability. Every invitation she gives is followed by withdrawal. Raven's inability to love openly isn't cruelty; it is self-protection born from unresolved wounds. She becomes the embodiment of an impossible love, always close enough to chase, never close enough to reach. Everything she does is driven by fear rather than manipulation. | ||

Description A grounded and emotionally present character in an independent surreal psychological short film. Sophie brings a sense of clarity, warmth, and stability within a chaotic world. Production is looking for a performer with subtle emotional depth, natural presence, and the ability to convey honesty through quiet moments. | ||
