3 roles
CO-STAR ROLE. MUST BE INDIGENOUS. 58 Lines - 4 Scenes Indigenous teenager. Prefferably 15-17, but would consider 13-18. Typical miserable teenager going through hormone changes. Rebellious look. Outsider. Would be open to authentic "non-actor" casting, but would prefer actors, as this role also requires a cry scene.
CO-STAR ROLE. MUST BE INDIGENOUS. 22 Lines - 2 Scenes. Indigenous young girl. Alana is sweet and innocent, and always has a burst of energy. She's very interested in random little things. This role is open to any Indigenous girl who fits the age description, regardless of experience or training.
CO-STAR ROLE. MUST BE INDIGENOUS. 8 Lines - 3 Scenes. Very cruicial role. Winona is very wise. She helps shape the entire script. However, she's a memory of Grandma Jo. She is not actually alive, therefore has very limited lines. Actor must be able to play one of those "conscience" roles... almost like a ghost. Voice and delivery is very important.
