Actors and Actressess are needed:
The film follows the troubled life of a teenage boy who has pretty
much raised his young disabled sister. His mother hides the pain of
being alone with alcohol, complicating the life and bond between
Mother, Brother, and Sister. Brian falls in love and is forced to make
a decision that will alter his life forever.
We are currently casting 3 key roles, 5 small speaking roles, and
various extras:
BRIAN: CAUCASIAN MALE 17 YEARS OLD
Brian's character is strong willed and hard working yet remains shy
around girls. He has avoided and been frightened by his mother whom he
has never really stood up to. His character goes through a mental
change of finding himself and discovering that he does have the
ability to change his life. His sister Valerie is 12 and has moderate
spastic cerebral palsy - he is compasionate to her and girls who
remind him of her. He is rebellious and sometimes seems mature for his
age. Physically he is average built and under 6' in height. Actor must
be able to lift 100 lbs, as there are scenes where he must remove his
sister from her wheelchair to a bed or in a car.
JULIE: CAUCASIAN FEMALE 17 YEARS OLD
Julie's character is seen as sweet and innocent however she has
rebellious side that matches with Brian. She can be sneaky but always
maintains a high level of obedience and confidence. She yerns to
experience a world outside her own uptight suburbanite boring home,
and finds a love and compassion in Brian she has never known. She is
spunky and full of life. Actress must be able to weep with some ease,
and blush with ease.
BETH: CAUCASIAN FEMALE 35-50 YEARS OF AGE
Beth was once a strong successful woman with a loving husband and
wonderful family, however when her disabled daughter was born, her
husband could not handle the responsibility and disowned the family.
She has since disintagrated and become a verbally abusive alcoholic.
Her character goes to all extremes to hide her personal life from the
world. Character has a few scenes where stumbling and drunken behavior
is key to hightening the drama.
