>> ROLE: ISABELLA [OPEN]
Age RangeEarly 20s
GenderFemale

Isabella is an isolated person, but experiences the most. She's quiet, watchful, and turned inward. She is someone who notices everything but struggles to say what's actually wrong. Under the surface calm is a slow, building unease she keeps trying to swallow, until it cracks open.

Looking for an actress comfortable with stillness and restraint who can let a lot happen in a look, a pause, a half-finished sentence.

>> ROLE: ISAAC [OPEN]
Age RangeEarly 20s
GenderMale
BuildMuscular / athletic

Isaac loves Isabella completely and shows it the only ways he knows how. This involves gestures, gifts, grand attempts to understand her. He's warm, earnest, a little proud of his own effort, and he means well in almost every scene. But his read on what she actually needs is ever-so-slightly behind, and the gap between his intentions and her reality is where the film lives.

Looking for an actor who can play sincerity without irony, and let insecurity and hurt show through a guy who's trying his best and still missing it.
