Lena James

Fault Line

Short Film - Woman 27 - 37 Non Union Principal 07/06/2026 Los Angeles

About the Job

Female, Black or Afro-Latina, late 20s to mid 30s Lead Quiet, emotionally guarded, observant, and deeply intelligent. Lena has learned to survive by keeping her feelings buried. She says little, but misses nothing. When an old flame shows up at her apartment bleeding and desperate, Lena is pulled into a night that forces her to confront unresolved hurt, betrayal, and a devastating personal loss. This role requires an actor with strong dramatic instincts, powerful stillness, and the ability to communicate thought, grief, and resolve with minimal dialogue. The performance should feel grounded, restrained, and emotionally precise. Casting note: Strong subtext work and comfort carrying long stretches of screen time in close-up are essential.
