Gem (18-20 to play younger)

Lead And Supporting Roles For Indie Feature

Feature Film 150/day Woman, Non-Binary Person 18 - 20 Non Union Principal 04/30/2026 Los Angeles

About the Job

Female or Non-binary, age 14 Slight, understated, alt/DIY aesthetic (goth/witchy vibes welcome). Shy, observant, and inward — the kind of teen who disappears into the background until you really look at her. Sweet, nerdy, imaginative, and quietly lonely, with a rich inner world that slowly spirals into obsession. Must feel completely natural and authentic on camera — not polished or “performer-y.” Strong emotional range required, including vulnerability, panic, dissociation, and intense psychological material. Comfortable with improvisation and raw, intimate handheld work. Think documentary realism — a real kid, not an influencer or actor type.
