Suzi
A grieving mother holding herself together with sheer will. Composed on the surface, hollowed out underneath. Requires emotional restraint, grief, panic, quiet despair, and physical struggle in the climax.
Casting Roles
Looking for grounded, emotionally real performances. Serious actors only.
Jacob
Recently lost his twin sister and father. Watchful, withdrawn, mostly non-verbal. Requires strong emotional range, stillness, listening, and restrained reactions.
Jessica
A lonely ghost child. Playful, affectionate, and capable of frightening force when she fears losing Jacob. Performance is conveyed through legs, hands, posture, and back-of-head movement.
Ken
Suzi’s father. Warm, steady, grounded. Intimate two-hander scenes and one significant phone scene. No physically demanding work.
Olivia
Jacob’s twin sister. Bright, affectionate, full of life. Appears in flashback/dream material. Resemblance to Jacob is a plus.
David
Suzi’s husband. Appears in a silent dream sequence and is heard as a voice in home-video material. Warm, present, and emotionally specific.
