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 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.
