Anya
Witty and cool. Like a manic pixie dream girl but was actually cool in high school. Anya will do quite literally anything for love. Presents as emotionally intelligent and wise beyond her years, but is emotionally immature, easily triggered and will fully freak out if she feels she has no control. For her, this relationship is the most important thing in the world, and as far as she's concerned, the only thing in the world. Looking for heavy emotional range.
Alex
The coolest 17 year old in the world (to Anya and literally only Anya). The kind of guy who would have worked 4 jobs in high school but still be best dressed and have the best music taste. He knows how to talk to people, has an old school mentality and always does things the "proper" way. He is extremely calm, patient and just wants to make people happy. Emotionally very stable but can be brought to tears if he cares enough about it.
The Auteur
VOICE ROLE ONLY - The primary antagonist throughout the film. Never seen, only heard. He is the architect, producer, director and depraved fuck in charge of the snuff film. Originally from Scotland, he worked in the US film industry for many years, amassing great wealth, yet the brutal working conditions on his sets and multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations would ultimately cost him his professional career. Unshackled by the regulations and oversight of the industry and with no end to his depravity, the Auteur found a new market in snuff filmmaking. With a stable of talent, a voracious audience, and the funds to bankroll his creations, the auteur has new heights to reach with his next film…and a formidable leading man to star… - Scottish accent, ideally gravelly
Maddie Harlow
22 to 30 years old; White; woman. NOTE: This role will also play the "Sobbing mother" role. Harlow’s younger sister. The prime target for abuse by their father, Maddie found safety in her older brother. When Duncan murdered their father, she stood by him, writing and visiting him in prison regularly. She was abducted by the Contractors at the orders of the Auteur, and given to a Crazy as an object of torture. PLEASE NOTE: Strong emotional range, comfortable with full frontal nudity (director is willing got work with prosthetics and the actors comfort level)and physical exertion, comfortable with simulated torture. Maddie will have heavy prosthetic makeup including dual eye wounds, facial lacerations, an ear removed, one breast removed, and significant lacerations across the entirety of her body
The Bull
35 to 45 years old; White; man. High BMI or muscular build preferred. Once the pride of the Auteur’s stable, now a liability due to his increased erratic behaviour and deteriorating mental health. Morbidly obese and supremely strong, this specimen wears a rotting steer head and nothing else. He is extremely territorial and remains chained up in the Auteur’s basement, being fed human flesh and subject to extreme cruelty by the Contractors. The content of his films primarily involve violent necrophilia and cannibalism. PLEASE NOTE: Physical exertion and wielding a chainsaw for extended periods (to attack five people), comfortable with full frontal nudity, comfortable with violence, comfortable with simulated torture, simulated cannibalism, comfortable with simulated sexual acts: simulated stimulation of genitals, simulated necrophilia. This role will have a fake brand on his shoulder, body covered in fake dirt and grime, a prosthetic bullet hole in his stomach, and prosthetic elongated finger and toenails to mimic unkempt growth.

Film#1: Sofia (Lead) / Film#2: Lucia (Lead)
Film #1: A Perfect Mistake Sofia (Lead) Age: 25-30 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Open to Latina, Middle Eastern, or South Asian. Naturally beautiful, warm, and disarming. The kind of woman whose composure under pressure reads as quiet strength. Description: A young nanny who walks into a dangerous situation and refuses to be its victim. Sofia's journey moves from vulnerable to targeted to strategic — and the audience needs to believe every step. Must play warmth and fear convincingly through Scenes 1-4, and the calculated seduction of Scene 5 must feel like a woman fully in control for the first time. Critical: the fake compliment build in Scene 5 must land as performance within a performance — the audience should feel the shift the moment it happens, before Ryan does. ----- Film #2: Lucia (Lead) Age: 25-30 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Open to Latina, Middle Eastern, South Asian. Naturally beautiful, unassuming. The kind of woman whose face does more than her words. Must read as both genuinely vulnerable and quietly strong — sometimes in the same breath. Description: A young immigrant woman who has spent two years invisible in someone else's home — until one moment of weakness makes her impossible to ignore. Lucia's journey moves from humiliation through fear through unexpected love to clear-eyed, courageous choice. Requires genuine emotional range and the ability to hold stillness on camera. Critical: the hiding sequences must feel viscerally real, the nightly visit chemistry with Daniel must build naturally across the series of shots, and the final scene must land as earned joy not melodrama.
Film#1: Ryan(Lead) / Film#2: Daniel(Lead)
Film #1: A Perfect Mistake Ryan (Lead) Age: 35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Conventionally attractive, well-dressed, effortlessly entitled. The kind of man who has never been told no by anyone who mattered. Must read as charming enough to have fooled people and repellent enough that the audience never forgets what he is. Description: A husband and father who uses his home, his money, and his authority as weapons. Ryan moves through the script with complete, unearned confidence — right up until the teddy bear eye pops out. Must play every escalation as a man who genuinely believes he will not be caught. Critical: the check reveal in Scene 2 must be played with total comfort — he's done this before. The Scene 4 blackmail must feel like a man closing a trap. And the final collapse must be fast, complete, and earn zero sympathy. ----- Film #2: Love in the Dark Daniel (Lead) Age: 35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Warm, quietly authoritative. The kind of man whose stillness reads as strength. Must read as both genuinely decent and completely conflicted — a man who knows what he should do and keeps doing something else. Description: A wealthy man days away from the wrong wedding who doesn't know it yet. Daniel's arc moves from oblivious to aware to committed — and the audience needs to believe every step. Must play tenderness without sentimentality and authority without coldness. Critical: the nightly visits must feel like a man falling in love in real time, the proposal must land as impulse and conviction simultaneously, and the ring removal must be the most casual devastating thing he's ever done.
Film#1: Janet(Supporting) / Film#2: Victoria(Supporting)
Film #1: A Perfect Mistake Janet (Supporting) Age: 30s Height: Any Physical Appearance: Polished, warm, deceptively composed. The kind of woman who moves through a room like she owns it — because she does. Must read as both genuinely trusting and quietly dangerous. Description: A wife who already knows and has been building her case. Janet's arc is the script's best kept secret — she plays the oblivious departing spouse in Scene 1 and the fully prepared architect of Ryan's downfall in Scene 5. Must play warmth and intelligence simultaneously without tipping the hand. Critical: the teddy reveal must land as the payoff it is — a woman who thought of everything. The shoulder-to-shoulder final moment with Sofia must feel like a partnership that was always inevitable. ----- Film #2: Love in the Dark Victoria (Supporting) Age: 30-35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Striking, immaculately presented. The kind of woman who treats beauty as armor. Must read as both genuinely formidable and completely threatened — a villain who believes she's the hero. Description: A fiancée who sees what's happening before anyone admits it and responds by making everything worse. Victoria moves through the script with absolute conviction — she is never wrong, in her own mind, until the moment she runs. Must play cruelty as instinct not performance, and entitlement as a lifelong condition not a character choice. Critical: the slap in Scene 1 must be impulsive not calculated, the ICE truck line must land as casual evil, the flower scene threat must be genuinely chilling, and the final exit must be a woman who waited too long to read the room.
DALTON
Dalton is a kind, funny, perceptive and supportive friend. Dalton cares about his appearance, he is always well presented and likely goes to the gym a few times a week.
