As fear takes hold, she becomes increasingly withdrawn and distressed, carrying the emotional weight of the story.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). | ||

Ability to balance humor with slightly unsettling undertones. Comfortable with light improv and physicality. Non-violent role. Engages in typical sibling roughhousing and teasing.
