About the Job

LEAD. Female, 30s, Caucasian (to match family casting) Conventionally beautiful. An artist with natural charisma and emotional intelligence, Kate is warm, feminine, engaging, and effortlessly draws people in. She comes from a stable, well-to-do background and carries herself with confidence and ease. Beneath that charm, however, Kate is navigating a recent personal loss she doesn’t fully know how to process. She has joined the pet loss support group under false pretenses of grieving a pet when in reality her grief is something even more disenfranchised. She is expressive but selective with her vulnerability, often shaping how others see her. While she forms connections easily, maintaining emotional boundaries becomes complicated when those connections deepen. (Kate is slightly inspired by Sheba Hart from Notes on a Scandal) Note: Looking for an actor who can balance charm, subtle emotional complexity, and underlying discomfort. 7 days of shooting.
