Casting for a half day rehearsed reading for abnew in-development romance project following My Half Night that is scheduled for release in 2027

Eight years after they were teen lovers, Jake and recently engaged Fi meet to their surprise after the death of a friend. Inadvertently left alone together in a flat for the evening, they tread over old ground and discuss life as adults, finding the connection between them has faded nowhere near as much as they expected.

Roles

Roles Details

Title

Jake

Content

British Chinese. Has the body of an athlete but is cerebral. He has a poetic, sensitive bent and is slightly verbose. Whilst he cuts a quite solemn, almost brooding figure, he does have bursts of cheekiness. Something of a defeatist, he gave up on Fi and ran away from her as a teen because he couldn’t handle her strict parent’s objections to them dating. He still burns for her but he is trying to be a gentleman and restrain himself out of respect for her upcoming marriage.
