About the Job

Lead Role, Portrays Japanese Female, Akari is a Japanese whistleblower in her late-20s to mid-30s, calm and composed on the surface, but carrying deep grief, urgency and great focus. The daughter of a high-ranking Naicho intelligence officer in Tokyo whose death was officially labeled a robbery, she suspects he was assassinated. Brilliant, resourceful, and quietly intense, she has spent years uncovering dangerous truths tied to Cold War-era programs, genetic experimentation, and the manipulation of human lives. Her conflict is both personal and geopolitical: she is driven by love and loyalty to her father, but also by a moral conviction that the truth must be told, even at the risk of her own life. Akari moves between seductive tenderness and steel, between vulnerability and obsession. As the story unfolds, her resilience is tested as she begins to blur the line between investigator, witness, and participant. Language: Bilingual (fluent in English and Japanese). 1 Day Nov, 3 days prep, 8 days shoot in December Shooting in LA and Japan Must have a valid passport
