Role description

EMMY is the calculating mastermind of the farmhouse. She is considered the ‘brains’ of the trio. Controlled, cold, precise. Every move is calculated, every word is measured. Although Emmy dictates the fate of others, she does not get her hands dirty (in most circumstances). Her silent and burning desire to be seen and obeyed is masked by her obsessive compulsive tendencies, and uptight stature.

Role description

Mocking Emmy’s obsessive compulsiveness, as she does not care to impress the girls den mother Mama Vanta. She views morality with a bored smirk, she doesn’t harm out of rage, she harms just because she can. ***This role has implied intimacy without nudity on/off camera*** ***This role will be exposed to SFX makeup***

JESS is the heart of the film, but her heart is bruised, guarded, and steering over the edge of something darker. She is cautious, self contained, and tired of running. When we meet her she's fractured and alert, by the end she appears to be something else entirely. Everything reads in her eyes; fear, defiance, then the growing hunger for power. As she progressively becomes absorbed in the sisterhood of the farmhouse, Jess begins to shed her victimhood, not in triumph, but in transportation. She becomes, colder, sharper, darker than what she once feared. ***This role has implied intimacy without nudity on/off camera*** ***This role will be exposed to SFX makeup***
