The Roles
[WILLIAM] Caucasian, male, 35-55 years old. William is the epitome of redneck trailer trash. He is a Bible quoting hypocrite, who physically, mentally, and possibly sexually abuses his teenage son Riley. Charismatic and sly, he easily gains the confidence of others. A used car salesman with a dark side, William is a killer and a rapist. Partial nudity is required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with rear nudity during a simulated forced ‘rape’ scene with Becky.
[RILEY] Caucasian, male, to play 18 years old. A younger and even more uneducated version of William, Riley has a youthful innocence that is buried deep within him. Abused and broken, Riley is completely submissive to his father and yet struggles with wanting to break free. Partial nudity is required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with rear nudity, plus implied offscreen sexual abuse.
[TOMMY] Caucasian, male, to play 18. Athletic and confident, Tommy is clearly the “alpha-male†within his group of friends. His exceptional good looks make up for his lack of grey matter, and he slides by mostly on his charms and athletic prowess. Partial nudity is required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with a full nude swimming scene, plus partial rear nudity during sexual situations with Britney and Becky.
[JOEY] Caucasian, male, to play 18. Athletic, masculine, and confident. A “Junior Varsity†version of his older brother Tommy. Special contact lenses and prosthetic makeup required during undead scenes. Partial nudity is required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with a full nude swimming scene, plus partial rear nudity during sexual situations with Becky.
[BECKY] Any ethnicity, female, to play 18. Becky is a normal, cute, and full of teen enthusiasm and charm. She is Britney’s best friend, and a borderline bad girl (she rebels, but in a sweet way.) Special contact lenses and prosthetic makeup required during undead scenes. Partial nudity is required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with partial rear nudity and frontal nudity from the waist up during sexual situations with Tommy and Joey. Talent should be comfortable playing a traumatized victim of sexual abuse.
[BRITNEY] Any ethnicity, female, to play 18. A celebration of trailer trash slut with high school cheerleader mixed in. She dresses inappropriately for her age, and uses her sexuality for mass effect. She is sexually mature, and in love with Tommy. Special contact lenses and prosthetic makeup required during undead scenes. Partial nudity will be required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with partial rear nudity and frontal nudity from the waist up during sexual situations with Tommy.
[DEAD HOOKER] Any ethnicity, female, to play 21-35. Dead from the moment we meet her, this character is a pivotal undead character in the film. A previous victim of William’s, this hooker/stripper brings the virus to our core group. Special contact lenses and prosthetic makeup required during all scenes. Partial nudity will be required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with frontal nudity from the waist up.
[APPLE] Any ethnicity, male, to play 55-70. A caring, but out of touch with reality Vietnam Veteran. Quickly agitated and excited. Crazy, but surprisingly articulate, coherent and insightful.
[TOPHER] Any ethnicity, male, to play 18. Topher has the brooding good looks of a super model, but is usually too stoned to care. A skateboarder and “wanna be” surfer, he is concerned about his image, and yet he is sensitive, and mature beyond his years. Partial nudity will be required for this role. Talent should be comfortable with a full nude swimming scene, plus partial rear nudity during a self-pleasuring sexual situation.
