Casting Kids and Teens for a Student Short Film "Mixed"

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking a mixed race boy or girl ages 9+ for a short film "Mixed" (working title). More details are below. About the project: "Mixed" is a 15-20 minutes cinematic documentary celebrating the resilience and growth of interracial couples and mixed children in the city of Toronto. Through the lens of three mixed-race individuals, the film delves into their candid reflections on upbringing and life in interracial families. Spanning different age groups -- kid/teenager, middle-aged adult, and elder -- the documentary maintains consistency while embracing diverse narratives. Participants, prompted to write letters to their parents, share their stories through interviews, intertwining personal accounts with emotional readings of their letters. Parents, in turn, respond to their child's letters, fostering deep conversations about their interracial experiences and family dynamics. With an intimate tone and emotive interviews, Mixed aims to evoke empathy and inspiration, shedding light on the beauty and challenges of cultural diversity in Toronto, while fostering healing and connection within the featured families.
