About the Job

A young boy listening to the sweeping history of his community told by his mother as a bedtime story. We are seeking a bright, inquisitive, and captivating young talent with an expressive face and a natural, unforced presence. He must be a strong on-camera listener who can easily project a sense of genuine wonder and curiosity through his eyes as he takes in his mother's words. He needs to deliver his dialogue with authenticity—moving naturally between a hushed, wide-eyed whisper of curiosity to a sudden, lively burst of infectious, childhood energy. No overly rehearsed or presentational styles; his line delivery must feel completely organic, conversational, and spontaneous.
