Talents Needed for "The Thirteen Folds" Feature Film
Logline After the death of his Military father, a small-town wrestler searches for faith, fight, and the faint sound of his father’s voice in every echo of the gym. When a dogwood sprout rises in the spot his father once promised a tree would grow, Tucker Tolly learns that some signs aren’t found in heaven… they’re planted right here in the dirt beneath your feet. Synopsis In Stillwater, Oklahoma, wrestling isn’t just a sport… it’s a language. And for Tucker Tolly, a quiet high-school kid with too-big shoes to fill, it’s the only way left to speak to the father he lost who left behind more than medals and memories… and a map of lessons stitched into the folds of the American flag. When Tucker’s mother struggles to hold faith together, and the world starts whispering that his best days might already be behind him, he finds unlikely guidance in a weathered coach, a gentle priest, and a girl named Juniper, who sketches him into existence when he can’t find his own outline.
3 roles
Age: 13-14 - Freshman in high school Essence: A soft rebel wrapped in grace. The kind of girl who sketches in silence but says everything with her eyes. Physical notes: Natural beauty, no polish. Freckles are fine, even preferred. Wears yesterday’s jeans like they’ve got a story. Juniper is the quiet pulse beneath Tucker’s chaos… his tether and his test. She carries that truth in every hesitant smile.
Age: 15–16 - Senior in HS (around 115 pounds) Physical: Strong, The kind of athlete whose posture carries generational expectation. Essence: Tucker’s foil… not a villain, but the embodiment of earned confidence. He represents everything Tucker thinks he wants to be: skilled, respected, certain. Jax isn’t mean. His presence simply amplifies Tucker’s self- doubt. In later scenes, his silence should feel more honest than any dialogue… a living metaphor for competition without hatred.
Age: 14 - Freshman in HS (around 125 pounds) Physical: Lean wrestler’s build; wiry strength rather than bulk. Slightly overconfident posture. Essence: The locker-room jester who hides his insecurity behind sarcasm. He’s not malicious… just immature, desperate to belong, and uncomfortable with silence. Casting Type: Someone who can shift quickly from funny to sheepish, and who can sell both cruelty and guilt in the same breath.
