A short fantasy film, and video game teaser, the vibe is very viking/Game of Thrones/Lord of the rings. Set during Fimbulwinter, immediately before Ragnarök.

For most roles it is quite a physical & emotional performance.

This is a really great spot, gritty and emotional.
Look forward to seeing suggestions.

Content

MUST BE OVER LICENSE AGE & MUST APPEAR YOUNGER THAN HER AGE.

Our actor will appear as 16, she is visibly youthful and physically less assured, with no training. At 19, she has trained to take her brother’s place as a soldier.

She is a sharp, stubborn young woman with a tomboyish manner and an
instinct to resist being pushed aside. Her brother’s death leaves her carrying his
sword and a responsibility she chooses to make her own. The time comes where
she is tested for everything she has learned, she understands the danger and
draws her sword. The actor must let us see her absorb the scale of what is
coming, then choose to face it. Her determination has weight because she
knows what violence costs.

The three-year change should register through posture, breath and weapon
handling.

At sixteen her reactions are more exposed and impulsive; at nineteen she can
hold herself steady long enough to act. The same intelligence and stubbornness
must remain recognizable. Strong silent acting is essential to carry affection,
grief and resolve through very little or no dialogue
