A bookbinder by trade, Brelee is meticulous, precise, and a consummate professional in every way. Her clients are anything but ordinary, and the material she uses to create the covers of her commissioned books is sourced through unspeakable means. When offered a commission unlike any before, the line between craftsmanship and monstrosity begins to blur.

This role requires the actor to be able to portray the most nuanced of emotions with subtlety and tact. They must be able to have focused intent while portraying Brelee as she goes through her tasks, but also be calm and relaxed due to the poetic nature of her craft. But that state of serenity can change once a new commission is accepted and she must begin sourcing new materials.

We are also looking for the supporting role of Hannah (20s), a spritely woman full of life and positive energy who becomes one of Brelee's victims. This role requires a partial life cast for special effects makeup. Applicants should not have any known allergies or sensitivities to latex, silicone, alginate, adhesives, or other standard life-casting materials.

Both roles are open to all nationalities.

What we offer
This is a unique opportunity to take on a non-speaking role that relies heavily on visual storytelling and an atmospheric, nuanced presence. Brelee is a character that will captivate and intrigue viewers, and if you are interested in portraying subtle, psychopathic expressions, we invite you to audition for this intriguing role.

We look forward to seeing your audition!
