A composed, traditional, intellectual old-school Texas father with a polished, slightly rigid presence. On the surface, he’s formal, polite, and controlled, the kind of man who leads grace at lunch without breaking eye contact. Underneath, there’s tension: ego, insecurity, and a quiet unraveling he’s trying hard to hide. The role requires subtle, naturalistic acting with an ability to convey discomfort, repression, and internal conflict through micro-expressions. Though he has a few lines, the performance leans heavily on stillness, controlled physicality, and small shifts in energy as the scene escalates. Must be comfortable working in a stylized, surreal tone where the tension is carried as much in silence as in dialogue. Looking for actors who can play quiet authority cracking under pressure, not theatrical, but precise and restrained. Southern American Accent. (est. 1 day of work)

A warm, polite, outwardly angelic young woman who carries a quiet confidence beneath her softness. She enters the home as the “sweet new girlfriend,” but there’s an edge under it, curiosity, mischief, and a controlled boldness that slowly shifts the power dynamic in the room. This role requires nuance and subtle duality: someone who can play gentle and composed on the surface while hinting at something sharper underneath. Performance relies on micro-shifts, eye work, stillness, and controlled physical choices rather than big dialogue. Must be comfortable with sensual tension, psychological interplay, and driving the emotional shift of the scene through presence rather than words. Looking for an actor who can move between innocent and quietly provocative without ever pushing it too far, someone who can sit at a family table and change the entire atmosphere just by how she breathes.

A Southern mother whose warmth is precise, rehearsed, and just a little off. She presents as gracious, devout, and impeccably composed, pearls, posture, and perfect manners, but there’s an intensity beneath her politeness that borders on unsettling. Every smile feels like discipline disguised as hospitality. The role leans on controlled, specific acting: subtle tension, micro-expressions, and a sense of internal rigidity. She doesn’t raise her voice; the power is in how she holds her stillness. Must be comfortable portraying quiet devotion, unspoken judgment, and a slightly surreal, stylized version of Southern gentility. Looking for an actor who can play both welcoming and vaguely threatening at the same time, someone who can say grace with total sincerity while letting the audience feel something deeper humming underneath.

A polite, pleasant, slightly dull young man with an air of pretentiousness he doesn’t fully earn. On the surface, he’s soft and supportive, the “nice guy,” but there’s a quiet expectation in how he moves, a subtle pressure in the way he watches his girlfriend. He’s trying to shape her without ever saying it out loud. Performance leans on naturalistic, understated acting: micro-reactions, posture, the way he corrects or hovers without realizing he’s doing it. He’s not malicious, just unaware, mildly performative, and a little threatened when he isn’t the most “thoughtful” person at the table. Looking for an actor who can play sweet, slightly insecure, and quietly self-serious, someone whose niceness starts to feel like control once the camera stays on him.(est. 6 hours of work)
