About the Job

Female, 25-35, Indian. Born and raised in India, educated in private English schools. Much of Tara’s confident, polished, cultured exterior is shaped by her family’s public-facing life back home. Now a grad student in NYC, she has a striking presence: an androgynous edge, effortless style, she is used to controlling how she’s perceived. We meet her in an intimate moment with Maya, an older married woman with whom she’s having an affair. As a moment of tension with Ronny escalates into a charged interaction , Tara takes charge - becoming defensive, sharp, even cutting. Beneath it, a vulnerability she works hard to conceal. Tara presents as self-assured and progressive, someone who has stepped outside the world she was raised in: but under pressure, contradictions surface, and she slips into the very behaviors she resists. Talent must be based in NYC or work NYC local. Non-Union. Language requirements: Fluent in Hindi/English. SUPPORTING ROLE. Note: Tara and Maya kiss in the short.
