Due date
Saturday August 16, 2025
Submissions from
Vancouver
Role description

Reserved, composed, and articulate, Ivan Hanes is a quiet darling of the visual arts scene. Unlike Charlie, Ivan’s career success has been slower and more modest, but more importantly, it’s been on their own terms. After Charlie’s betrayal ten years ago, Ivan had to rethink their “heart-on-his-sleeve” sincerity as a young gay artist. Ivan is cautious of every space they enter and is always concerned with the boundaries of whether or not they belong in the room. With this strong concern with boundaries, Ivan has learned to unapologetically call out injustice where they see it, and that righteous anger is born out of the pain Charlie left them with.

Vancouver
Role description

Jason is Charlie’s meticulous, charismatic publicist and number one fan. He’s deeply enthusiastic about her work and wants the best for her.

A man consumed by guilt and grief after his wife’s death, for which he is responsible in an abusive manner. Quiet, haunted, and emotionally imploding. He is a twisted man who victimizes himself, yet feels the guilt of his sins.

Role description

Mysterious, calm, unsettling. The tailor speaks a few words but commands deep presence. He is both practical and philosophical — helping people disappear, but without pity. He is rooted in stillness, control, and ambiguity. He has seen people try to run away from their past but he knows at the end, it is going to catch up to them, someway or the other. He is accustomed to it. He is a medium for karma.

A grieving father who believes Elliot is the man who harmed his daughter. Burnt-out, controlled rage until it snaps. He regrets not being able to save his daughter and carries the emotional weight of it. He tries to use physical aggression and revenge as a way of coping up with his loss and guilt. He has a big overpowering physicality to him. Actors should be comfortable with physical choreography under the guidance of a stunt coordinator.
