Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Supporting LeadIMOGENFemale 5 - 7 Years old
Description
A sensitive, imaginative and emotionally perceptive young child. Imogen is gentle and slightly anxious, with a rich inner world that blurs the line between imagination and reality. As fear takes hold, she becomes increasingly withdrawn and distressed, carrying the emotional weight of the story. Requires a child actor capable of expressing genuine fear, vulnerability, and quiet intensity. SUPPORTING LEAD. $125/Day. 2-3 Days on Set.

Must be comfortable with light horror elements (nothing extreme). Strong ability to take direction and remain present in emotionally heightened scenes. Naturalistic performance style preferred over precociousness.

Non-violent role. Some scenes of emotional distress and fear (crying, panic while trapped in the bathroom). Brief moment holding a plastic prop meat cleaver in a playful context (non-threatening, not used violently).

Description
Imogen’s older sister. Playful, mischievous, and a little cheeky, Claire enjoys pushing boundaries and teasing her younger sibling - but without fully understanding the consequences. Her energy brings levity early on, before subtly contributing to the film’s tension. PRINCIPAL ROLE. $125/Day. 1-2 Days on Set.

Strong sense of timing and natural playfulness. Ability to balance humor with slightly unsettling undertones. Comfortable with light improv and physicality.

Non-violent role. Engages in typical sibling roughhousing and teasing. Locks sister in bathroom as part of play, which contributes to tension but involves no physical harm.
