SEEKING:
[ JESSE ]
Caucasian, 9 years old (please submit aged 8-11). A very smart, unusual and creative boy. A sensitive but brave person; not afraid to break rules and speak his mind. Loves to pretend, gets lost in his thoughts. Likes to be around adults. This role requires a good amount of improvisation, so be yourself!...LEAD
[ PAUL ]
40-45, Caucasian. Father of Johnny’s nephew. Struggles with bipolar disorder; is in the grips of a manic episode when we meet him. Must be likable and sympathetic – it should pain us to see him in pain this way. Role will involve some improvisation...AN IMPORTANT SUPPORTING ROLE
[ CAROL ]
80s, Caucasian, a formerly grand woman, now small, elderly, ill; exhibiting symptoms of memory loss. Mother of Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix)...A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT ROLE – TWO GOOD SCENES
[ DETROIT KID 6 ]
9-15 years old; can be male or female; can be any race/ethnicity. One of the children interviewed by Johnny for a documentary; describes his/her somewhat scary vision for what the future will be like...ONE GOOD, CHALLENGING SCENE
[ INTAKE NURSE ]
Can be male/female; can be any race/ethnicity. Works at the treatment center where Paul is taken. ONE SCENE. ACTUAL NURSES, SPECIFICALLY ONES WITH EXPERIENCE IN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, A PLUS – IF APPLICABLE, PLEASE MAKE NOTE ON SUBMISSION.
No Logline but it looks like the movie is about Johnny (Phoenix) making a documentary about talented/gifted kids(?) and this Jesse kid is at the canter of it.
