Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadSundayAll 20 - 30 Years old
Description
Sunday is drifting in a dreamlike state and is quiet, internal, reflective, and observant, with a whole world living inside their head that carries dread and guilt that slowly morph into understanding and acceptance over the course of the film.

This performance lives in subtlety, stillness, and restraint, with very little dialogue, relying instead on voice-overs. The performer should be open to adjusting their hair if needed for the character (haircut or dye). Non Binary actors encouraged to apply..
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Day PlayerSCARY WOMANFemale 40 - 80 Years old
Description
A silent, nightmarish figure that comes to Sunday’s front door. Expressive and haunting with eerie energy. Comfort with horror material and working very closely with fake blood is a must.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Day PlayerHUMANOID CREATURE All 20 - 40 Years old
Description
A physical, unnerving presence. This role is entirely driven by body language. The performer must be comfortable with makeup and effects, crawling, bending, contorting, and holding unnatural positions for extended periods of time. Movement-based performers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Day PlayerSTATIC MANMale 40 - 55 Years old
Description
Tall. Uncanny. A looming, almost unreal figure. Appears to melt in and out of his surroundings, swaying or subtly turning his head. If touched, he would feel like fuzzy energy! A curious presence rather than overtly aggressive.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Body PartsMOUTHAll 35 - 60 Years old
Description
A disembodied, uncanny mouth and chin that appear uncomfortably close to Sunday, whispering into their ear. Intimate and deeply uncomfortable rather than overtly scary, with a striking, unsettling presence. Looking for a performer with uniquely striking teeth.
