Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Liv | Non-binary 30 - 40 Years old |
Description LIV (30s, Non-Binary, any ethnicity, femme or masc presenting)**Must be comfortable with simulated sex and partial nudity. Intimacy coordinator will be present. A neurodivergent, , aromantic, sex positive queerdo, with a dry sense of humour and unique perspective on life. While they are a fiercely loyal friend, their lack of social grace can sometimes cause tension between them and their best friend, Mel. Their life's ambition is to move to a desert island, surrounded by cats. This short is a proof of concept for a series that we're pitching in the fall. Liv is a recurring character in the series and if we were to cast we would also consider whether the actor would be the right fit for the series as a whole. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Charlotte | Female 35 - 45 Years old |
Description Charlotte (mid 30s, Female, Queer, Any ethnicity)Must be comfortable with intimacy and simulated sex. Intimacy coordinator will be present. Classic beauty meets alternative punk. Charlotte generally has a "Fuck the man" attitude, but sometimes a sad softness slips through the cracks. She owns a bar in the west end and lives that hard, bartender life. With a complicated home life, she tries to find whatever distractions she can, not only in her work, but in the beautiful women that frequent her bar. This short is a proof of concept for a series that we're pitching in the fall. Though Charlotte has no lines in the short, she is a recurring character in the series and if we were to cast we would also consider whether the actor would be the right fit for the series as a whole. | ||
