External Casting opportunities

We are looking for performers to portray Ofelia and the Captain on the red carpet at the film’s premiere on October 1, 2026, at the Academy Museum. The performers would participate in a red carpet activation alongside the Faun as talent arrives and poses for photos and engages with press.

This would be a great opportunity for students interested in entertainment performances/events to participate in a major theatrical premiere and interact with talent and media. The selected performers should be comfortable being photographed on the red carpet and potentially posing alongside talent and invited content creators.

If you are able to circulate this opportunity to your students, we would greatly appreciate it. Interested students can contact me directly and provide:

• Headshot

• Height

FRIDA’S CHOICE follows FRIDA, a young softball star and team captain whose promising life is upended by a devastating injury. Forced off the field, she finds that her family’s unhealthy dynamics have seeped into every corner of her life, pushing her toward a long-overdue reckoning with grief—and an uncertain path toward reconciliation with her disabled mother.

We're currently holding open reads and auditions for the roles listed below, and I'd like to invite your students or anyone else who might be interested to audition. If anyone is interested in auditioning, please find the breakdown posted on Actors Access, or email me and I'll send over the audition materials. Thank you! 

CHARACTERS (In order of appearance)

FRIDA (17, Female, Latina)

Captain of her softball team, Frida inherited her love of the game from her late father. She shares her mother's stubbornness and determination, but despite their similar strength, the two remain emotionally distant. Feeling unsupported at home, especially in her social and personal life, Frida longs for a deeper connection.

COACH KELLY (Mid-Late 30s, Female, Any Ethnicity) An ardent, athletic woman who grew up playing softball and dreamed of competing at the D1 level, but that opportunity never came. Although she wasn't recruited to play D1 or drafted afterward, her passion for the game never faded. Instead, she channeled that passion into coaching, dedicating herself to helping athletes like FRIDA and the rest of her players achieve the dream she once pursued. With no children of her own, she has poured her energy, mentorship, and heart into developing the next generation of softball players, determined to see them succeed where she could not.

ISABEL (18, Female, Latina)

The significant other to FRIDA, whose interest lies in the arts. Thoughtful, introspective, and observant, she finds meaning in quiet moments and approaches life with patience and restraint. As FRIDA's partner, she offers the stability FRIDA lacks, meeting her intensity with patience and quiet logic. In doing so, she often buries her own feelings to keep the peace.
