Looking to fill the following roles:
role 1 | actors | male
playing age: 24 - 26
role languages: English
ROLE: Older Leo
m, mid 20's
Since a young age, he has been encouraged to always aim for the stars. But, reality is rough and Leo has not achieved any great feats, despite his writer aspirations. Leo is still just a normal guy, working a normal, mundane job as a cleaner and even within that field, he still aims to achieve more. Despite his vulnerable position, Leo remains positive and optimistic. Leo puts pressure on himself to succeed and live up to the expectations he imagines his mom has for him. He must learn to understand that set-backs do not mean failure, and failure is not the end of the world.
role 2 | actors | female
playing age: 46 - 49
role languages: English
ROLE: Leo's Mother
f, late 40's
Leo’s mother has always been a supportive figure in Leo’s life, encouraging him to aim for the stars and believe that he can achieve anything as long as he puts his mind to it. She is a sweet and caring woman that has a lot of love for her son, showing her motherly tenderness when she knows that he needs it the most. You yourself decide your own destiny. Unlike Leo, her life is him and his happiness is her happiness.
role 3 | actors | male
playing age: 42 - 49
role languages: English
Role: Leo's Boss
m, 40's
The boss is a typical, corporate manager that plays fake to keep his employees content, but switches up as soon as he has nothing to gain from you. He is completely unaware and clueless in any social situation, navigating them clumsily. Some might think the boss’ main concern is to keep the budget in check, but it is rather to try and be likeable and seem like he really is there for his employees when they need him.
