Jade

About the Job

Jade (late 20s) is thoughtful and internal, a woman who gets lost in her own trains of thought and finds it hard to shake out of them. Warm and present with Sam, but pulled by a quiet undertow toward something she can't quite name. When she discovers skull shaped dice, that inward pull turns into compulsion. We watch curiosity tip into obsession, rolling the dice alone in her apartment, again and again, unraveling. This is a demanding, largely internal lead. We're looking for an actor who can carry long stretches with little or no dialogue and hold the screen through stillness, physicality, and micro-expressions. Someone who can play tenderness and love, then descend into an unsettling, escalating curiosity. The role spans multiple time periods. Strong, believable chemistry with the actor playing Sam is essential.
