CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
WREN (Female, 30s)
Quiet and reserved. Brain a little frayed from constant overthinking and worry. Looking for an actor who can convey internal tension, subtle shifts in confidence, and emotional depth with restraint.
SPENCER (Male, 30s-40s)
Warm and effortlessly likable. The kind of person who can put others at ease right away. Beneath the charm, however, is a more complex undercurrent. Seeking someone with a strong range, able to balance natural charisma with an intensity that can surface in unexpected ways.
WILLOW (Female, 30s)
Engaged and slightly off-center in her energy. There’s intention behind how she presents herself, hinting at something she’s carefully hiding. Looking for an actor who can play layered behavior: earnest and effervescent on the surface, with something more controlled underneath.
PARTYGOERS (All Genders, 20s–40s)
Elegant, magnetic, and unnervingly composed. These partygoers are members of a ritualistic underground cult hiding in plain sight. Seeking actors who can project charm, devotion, and emotional restraint while hinting at fanaticism beneath the surface. Strong nonverbal acting and comfort sustaining tension in silence is preferred. *If you are auditioning for this role, simply slate with your name and that you are auditioning as a partygoer. Please dress in earthy tones (greens, browns) and give a 5-second concentrated stare into the camera.
