The notes say Korean speaking for all the other characters, although it’s worth submitting if you speak cantonese, mandarin, tagalog (etc.) they may be open to changing the ethnicity of the characters in the script to suit the right lead actor(s). -Michael Bean, Owner+Head Coach, Biz Studio

NOTES:Except for Judy other familys member should speak in broken English. Cindy(Mom) needs to be quite fluent in Korean but if not we can try to work around the script. Power dynamic between a mother and a daughter in a Korean immigrant family whose members vote to speak only English at home. The daughter takes advantage of her fluency in English and her mother’s democratic tendency to over-power her authority. It is through this struggle we glean a microscopic view of demographic processes in our society.

[ JUDY ]
Female, 10-15. Intelligent teenager who is rebellious to her mother for making her live in Canada in the absence of her father. She resents her mother’s dependency on her and takes advantage of power to speak English to turn other siblings against her mother.

[ NORMAN ]
Male, 10-15. Troubled teen who is indifferent to family matters. Self centered character.

[ TED ]
Male, 7-10. Too young have the concept of right and wrong; mimics everything that he sees. Manipulated into becoming the purveyor of Judy’s authority.

Emily Carr tends to produce visually rich and “arty” films, before committing to the shoot find out if you’ll be able to get some useable footage for your demo reel. -Michael Bean, Owner+Head Coach, Biz Studio

Theatre looks great on a resume. Don’t believe me? See “Why Actors Should Do Theatre” to read quotes from a dozen casting directors both here and in LA about why they like to see live theatre credits on an actor’s resume. -Michael Bean, Owner+Head Coach, Biz Studio
