Description:

Casting actors for lead and supporting roles in "J'ai Faim" a short film following a young lesbian couple traveling to an off-season vacation town in the South of France where they begin to grow increasingly suspicious of their elderly hosts' ambiguous observations of them.

Character breakdown:
Jamie (early 20s, any ethnicity, female-presenting, some intimacy required) thoughtful, apprehensive, perceptive, anxious Lives within her internal world much of the time, except when she is present with Sarah. Prone to imaginative rumination.

Sarah (early 20s, any ethnicity, preferably POC, female-presenting, some intimacy required) comfortable, free-moving, decisive, reactive A constant participant of the world around her, sometimes to a point of forgetting herself- Jamie slows her down. Has a need to capture her experiences in physical form (Super 8).

Mathis (60s, any ethnicity, ability to do a French accent preferred) unknowable, detached, lingering, invasive Not always overtly arrogant, but has a nonchalant entitlement to his space and his actions.

Marie (60s, any ethnicity, non-speaking role) unknowable, detached, lingering, invasive Scrutinizing, yet wilfully indifferent. Has some unexamined resentment of her role in relation to Mathis.
