Dillara Cantrelle, 23, lead. A dishwasher who has lost her sense of purpose in life and lives a routine life. When she receives her grandfather's final letter requesting that she finish their song, she is forced to face her resentment for music. She is quiet, guarded and raw underneath. Mostly a non-verbal performance (lines are all sung), with a strong emotional range and stillness. Singing and basic guitar ability required.

Dillara Cantrelle as a ten-year-old girl in the warm flashbacks/memories. She is playful, musical and adores her grandfather, Gusar, as her biggest inspiration. She learns the guitar from him, walks in the park with him, sits in her bedroom with him, exchanging necklaces, and cries at him leaving her to travel the world. Needs a naturally expressive child actor, comfortable with singing 1 line of a simple chorus. Guitar basics and singing are assets.

Dillara's grandfather who appears the flashbacks Dillara has of her childhood. Playful, tender, charismatic, pirate-like. Gusar teaches ten-year-old Dillara the guitar, walks with her in the park pointing at the birds, sits with her in her room with her, leaves her a letter with a feather. Sings one simple chorus with her. Needs warmth, humor and natural way with a child actor. Singing is an asset.

Gusar (voiceover). The narrator of the film. Dillara's dying grandfather writes to her from Santorini. His letter is heard in voiceover across the present-day story. Warm, reflective, heartbreaking and funny. Needs a raspy and deep older male voice that can carry grief and playfulness at the same time. Voice-recording only, no on-camera work.

GEE (21) A tidy punk with short hair dyed green sits alone at the bar with a Whiskey and rocks.

A young woman raised with conservative Christian values. Intelligent, outspoken, quick-witted, and beginning to question the world around her.

An energetic, irreverent theatre student and bartender. Alternative style, sharp humour, and a big personality.

Gee's uncle. Caring, thoughtful, and protective, with an understated emotional depth.

Marney is a well meaning but misguided young man. He can't seem to get out of his own way, nor stop himself from interfering in the lives of the people he most cares about.

Ethnicity: Middle Eastern or South Asian Marney's ex-girlfriend, she has moved on from Marney and his antics, though she still has a soft spot for him and would like closure, even if she doesn't admit it.

Marney's best friend, he is the closest to a voice of reason within Marney's life. He wants to support his friend, but tries to gently steer him in the right direction.

Amal's fiancé, he is an easygoing and sweet person who has no idea of Marney or his intentions.

A matter-of-fact hospital doctor who diagnoses Troy with a severe illness and firmly explains the urgent treatment he requires.

Paul is clean-shaven, average-looking with a hint of nerd, works a middle-end business job, and generally has his life together. He is more grounded and less boisterous than his older brother Joel, with a dry sense of humor and a growing capacity for annoyance at Joel’s behavior. Paul loves his brother, however in ways he looks down on him. The two brothers should be instantly familiar and relatable, as they have been living together and tormenting each other for as long as they can remember. Looking for a more subtle performance, avoiding some of the most obvious “nerd” tropes. Performance: Restrained, dry, grounded, occasionally frustrated. Strong natural comedic timing and comfortable with quieter emotional moments. Physical: Clean-cut appearance, average build, slightly nerdy/put-together presentation. The character should contrast visually with Joel while still looking like they could realistically be brothers.

Joel is scruffy, bigger than Paul and less well-dressed. He also has longer, untidy hair and a beard. He is confident, impulsive, and articulate but always seems to be on the verge of doing something stupid that will get him into trouble. Joel is a cheap shark mascot at the car dealership, where he takes the job far more seriously than anyone else. Unlike Paul, Joel has an expressive face and a busier personality, prone to getting himself into silly adventures where he talks himself into believing that his actions have more meaning or sense than they truly do. In spite of this, Joel plays the fool not solely because he is a funny sidekick. He genuinely loves Paul and wants to gain the approval and respect of his brother. There is a sense of insecurity hidden beneath the bravado and impulsiveness, as Joel feels that his life has gone off the rails. The actor should be prepared to be both flamboyant and understated, as he needs to balance between the two extremes to bring the character to life. Performance: Animated, expressive, impulsive, funny, with the ability to shift into genuine vulnerability. Strong comedic timing and personality are important. Physical: Larger build than Paul, longer/messy hair, beard or facial hair, generally scruffy appearance. The two actors should look like brothers who have gone down very different paths in life.

Mr. Mockasin is Joel’s manager at the car dealership. He is a big, intimidating, extremely crass man who has absolutely no filter. He carries himself with an exaggerated confidence and has a larger-than-life personality. The character has a very specific comedic energy. We are looking for someone who can deliver lines with a loud, confident presence and potentially a deeper, exaggerated businessman’s voice. A vocal quality similar to a Vince McMahon-style delivery would be a plus, without requiring an exact impression. Grey hair would be preferred, although bald is also completely fine. Mockasin only appears briefly, but his presence should immediately tell us what kind of workplace Joel has found himself in. Performance: Big personality, confident, crude, loud, and comfortable with exaggerated comedy. Physical: Larger/bigger build preferred. Grey hair preferred; bald is also suitable.
