Looking to fill the following roles:
role 1 | actors | m/f
playing age: 18 - 26
role languages: English
ROLE: Quinn (non binary character) - 5 episodes
All ethnicities - Good English (an accent is fine) - Acting experience (on set)

Quinn (early 20s) is Zaya’s housemate and best friend. They’re alienated amongst peers and disconnected to labels, and they explore their relationship to masculinity whilst unraveling what it means to be non-binary.
role 2 | actors | female
playing age: 19 - 24
role languages: English
ROLE: Zaya
Preferably non white - Good English (an accent is fine) - Acting experience (on set) - Special note: has intimate scenes. No nudity.

Quiet and somewhat lonely, she is a film student at an international art academy. Throughout the show she is seen struggling with intimacy, mild substance abuse (weed), and a low self esteem. In contrast to these struggles, she expresses herself through a brightly colored exterior. She identifies as a lesbian.

ROLE: Livie - 5 episodes
All ethnicities - Good English (preferably native) - Acting experience (on set) - Special note: has intimate scenes. No nudity.

Our love interest is Livie. She seems confident and outgoing, but underneath her tough façade she actually has an unstable sense of self. This reflects in how she handles her own sexuality and how she uses the attention of others to feel better about herself.

Please note, there may be some nudity/intimacy in this role. For more on what this means, please see here.
