Ethan Joshua is looking for three non-union actors for our Toronto-based indie episodic series, Ukrainian, But Not Ukraine.
Logline:
Across three brief auto-biographical episodes, Alex searches for home and self-understanding through the stories, memories, and silences of their family rooted in Ukraine. Though those relationships carry fracture and distance, Alex holds onto the belief that reconnection across generations may offer a path toward wholeness.
Roles:
Ideally, our three actors will be Ukrainian, Eastern European, and/or Jewish in background.
Alex (Lead): Mid-twenties, Ukrainian-Canadian, Queer. A nervous people-pleaser, conflicted about many parts of their life and identity.
Julia (Supporting): Alex’s mother. Late 50s, Ukrainian-Canadian. Family-oriented, stoic and stern, yet soft-hearted.
Yuriy/George (Supporting): Alex’s grandfather. 70s, heavy Ukrainian accent. He is the family patriarch, blunt and old-fashioned, while showing love through practicality and valuing his Ukrainian roots.
About the Roles:
This is a non-union, volunteer role. Compensation will include credits and a profit-share of tickets sold from the episodes’ planned screening. All dialogue is in English.
To Apply:
To apply, please send a headshot, resume and a self-tape to both our director, Piotr, at [email protected] and our team at [email protected]
