Nini
About the Job
Nini carries a maturity far beyond her years. She is observant, deeply protective, and holds her family together through quiet strength. Beneath her grounded exterior is a young girl who simply deserves to be cared for. We are looking for an actor who can communicate volumes through silence, observation, and expressive eyes. Note: Seeking actors comfortable displaying grounded, nuanced emotion. Please note: This film addresses addiction as part of its story, but no drugs or alcohol are used or consumed by any performer at any time. All related items are non-functional props, and any implied substance use is conveyed through staging, editing, and prop objects only. No minor is ever exposed to any real or simulated substance. All child performers are supervised at all times
