2 roles
15 to 18 years old; White.Lead role. A withdrawn Toronto teen, cut off by her friends and parked in a dying lake town for the summer. Guarded, screen-fluent, secretly terrified of being forgotten — until a fight to save a sacred grove gives her the first place she's ever belonged, and her own desperation nearly destroys it. Requires exceptional interiority; much of the role plays in silence. Swimming, cycling, basic canoeing.
15 to 20 years old; Indigenous, East Asian, Mixed Ethnicity.Lead role. A self-possessed local girl who sketches, plays guitar, and knows the land like her own house. Dry-humoured, slow to trust, devastating when betrayed; ends the film as the public voice of her grandmother's stories. Equal screen weight to Emily. Guitar and drawing (or convincing mime), canoeing, swimming, comfortable leading children.
