[JESSICA] Woman; all ethnicities; 15-17: Charming, confident and well put together teen social influencer. Jessica does enjoy being the most popular girl in school but at times finds it difficult because she is always seeking validation. When it comes to new cultural experiences, Jessica is a teen who has lived her life in a bit of bubble, not having much exposure to other cultural experiences which means when being confronted or undergoing something new she becomes judgemental..SUPPORTING A guardian or parent can be on set and a studio teacher will be present on set if the booked talent is under 18 or not Legal 18. All talent that is asked to audition will have access to the full script. Scenes have Jessica hanging out with her friend, Rachel and Mila. Mila is teaching Jessica and Rachel a Russian tradition called Kupala in the woods which involves fun things like dancing. Storyline: When two classmates turn her family’s Kupala traditions into content, an outcast immigrant teenager flees into the woods, where an ancestral ritual forces her to embrace the identity she has been hiding. I moved a lot as a child, constantly finding myself in new environments and learning how to adapt. Years later, moving to Los Angeles brought that feeling back in a different way. I experienced, and still experience, the cultural clash of trying to belong somewhere while holding on to the traditions and values I grew up with. That tension is at the heart of Kupala. KUPALA is also about what happens when something personal and sacred becomes content. Jessica and Rachel are not villains. They are teenagers, and like many teenagers today, they are shaped by a culture in which experiences are filmed, shared, and judged by others. Their curiosity about Mila’s traditions is genuine, but they do not understand how deeply those traditions are connected to her identity. What begins as a playful ritual for social media becomes real, forcing Mila to confront everything she has been trying to hide. The forest ritual is the emotional heart of the film. Mila moves from fear and resistance toward acceptance, not because she is possessed, but because she finally reconnects with a part of herself she has denied. For me, KUPALA is about learning that belonging should not require self-erasure, and that the parts of ourselves we try hardest to hide may be the ones that ultimately make us whole.

A practicing vegan who has a strong connection to animals but a difficult time connecting with people, even her close family members. She often retreats into her own inner world and doesn’t let people in. Keenly observant with a distaste for fake niceties, Alice can sometimes be very blunt, or even dryly funny, even if most people don’t get her sense of humor. Striking, smart, sharp and at times, merciless with a strong sense of right and wrong. Confused and intrigued by her own dark inclinations. Series regular, options required.
No prior experience required. Curiosity about the strange and uncanny is a plus.
Films in New York from Nov 2026 - May 2027
