Behind her calm exterior lies a fierce will to overcome adversity, protect those she loves, and prove that true strength isn't found in what you say, but in how you live. This role requires some intimacy, kissing, hugging and touching. An Intimacy Coordinator will be present on set at all times to ensure the safety, consent, and comfort of the actors.

Claire

Project title
Nacho Mama
Media
Short Film
Due date
Monday May 5, 2025
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

A fiercely devoted adoptive mother whose love for her son Max is matched only by her anxiety over losing him. Hyper-vigilant, controlling, and emotionally volatile when her role as “mom” is threatened. Claire is driven by fear — hiding the truth of Max’s adoption in a desperate attempt to protect him. Over the course of the story, she transforms from a guarded protector to a vulnerable truth-teller, ultimately learning that real motherhood means love without control. Think Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side, a more emotionally raw Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 or even Wynona Ryder’s Character in Stranger Things.

Max

Nacho Mama
Media
Short Film
Due date
Monday May 5, 2025
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

A bright, curious kid with a deep sense of justice and a drive to uncover the truth. Max is the kind of pre-teen who follows every mystery to its source — whether it's a stranger who recognizes him or why his mom flinches at questions about the past. He longs to understand where he belongs, and when answers are kept from him, he takes matters into his own hands. Innocent yet determined, Max is like Miguel in Coco — spirited and searching for his identity — with shades of Rapunzel in Tangled, as he steps beyond the version of life he's always been told. Think Finn Wolfhard in Stranger Things.

Abigail

Media
Short Film
Due date
Monday May 5, 2025
Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

A delicate-looking but quietly formidable grandmother who’s spent years aching for the family she lost. Her first encounter with Max is charged with raw emotion — sorrow, hope, and a longing that never faded. Abagail’s flaw is her desperation, which blinds her to the emotional impact of her sudden reappearance in Max's life. Still, she carries a deep, forgiving love that ultimately softens conflict and redefines family. By the end, she evolves from a disruptive presence to a source of healing. Think Judi Dench in Philomena — tender but tenacious — or Sally Field’s later roles as a nurturing yet resilient matriarch.
