NON-UNION

Shoot Date(s): July 1 – 5, 2024

[ SOLANGE ]
18 to 32 years old, African woman. She is a soft-spoken people pleaser who is now plagued by paranoia and distrust after a rocky start in America. Quietly intelligent despite not having a high school education. There is a distinct nervous energy about her, right below the surface, which makes her seem fragile. Must be of Ivorian descent. French fluency a plus. LEAD

[ JEROME ]
25 to 32 years old, African man. He is bookish, introverted, and painfully prideful of his academic accomplishments. He prioritizes logic over emotion, even his own, and will lash out when backed into a corner. Ivorian descent preferred, but open to other West African ethnicities. French fluency a plus. Talent must be comfortable with SFX blood. LEAD

[ CAROL ]
30 to 45 years old, White, blonde woman. She is the epitome of a perfectly coiffed Southern belle who means well, but still finds herself clinging to the closed-minded ideals that molded her upbringing in the Deep South. Onscreen driving. Talent must be comfortable with SFX blood. SUPPORTING

Storyline: When an African immigrant couple finds themselves stranded in the rural South, they fight to escape an unknown predator.
