KC BLAZE ENTERTAINMENT
Please send resume and reel (if you have one) to kevin@kcblazeent.com. Please provide direct contact information as we are looking to quickly do virtual read throughs to film this in April/May. We are looking for the following roles for our mental health-driven Jekyll and Hyde-based feature film:
[CHRISTY]
Late 30s – Early 50s
Female
Supporting (Major Antagonist)
Jake’s Stepmother. Christy is the architect of Jake’s isolation, she is deeply narcissistic, materialistic, and territorial.
She is a master of gaslighting and the “backhanded compliment.” She views emotions as weakness and mental health struggles as “excuses for laziness.” She resents Jake’s presence in her home and constantly make him feel small (e.g., reminding him he is a “guest,” dismissing his career). She doesn’t yell to hurt you; she smiles while twisting the knife. We are looking for an actress who can play cold, calculating superiority with terrifying realism.
Key Traits:
The Gatekeeper: Everything in the house belongs to her, and she never lets you forget it.
The Invalidator: If you are hurting, she tells you “others have it worse.” She mocks Jake’s PTSD because it doesn’t fit her definition of trauma.
The Status Seeker: Obsessed with appearances, money, and success…as long as Jake doesn’t have it.
[CELENE]
Age: 20s (Must be 18+ to apply)
Female
Supporting/Featured
Character Description: A young woman who encounters the protagonist’s alter-ego (“Hyde”) at a bar/social setting and accompanies him back to a motel room. Celene is drawn to excitement and danger. She mistakes Hyde’s volatile behavior for “Bad Boy” charisma and confidence. She is the character who doesn’t see the destructive nature of Hyde but starts to see the mask slip as the audience wonders what is going to happen to her. She
Intimacy / Comfort Note:
Kissing Only: This scene involves light kissing to establish a romantic connection.
Boundaries: There is NO nudity, NO simulated sex, and NO further intimacy required. They don’t even do this in the actual script further than the light kissing. The scene is about the tension and the psychological shift, not the physical act. We are committed to a safe and comfortable set for all actors.
