Gem's Mom
Lead And Supporting Roles For Indie Feature
About the Job
Working-class presence. Tired, hardened, and slightly disheveled — someone who looks like life has worn them down. Naturalistic look preferred; no polished “TV mom” energy. A volatile, emotionally unpredictable parent struggling with addiction and frustration. Alternates between dismissive irritation, explosive anger, and moments of unsettling detachment. The performance should feel grounded and painfully real rather than theatrical. Comfortable with intense material and portraying a troubled, imperfect parent.
