Description:
“Baby, Don’t Cry” is a coming-of-age horror. A story about a withdrawn and sensitive 17-year-old Chinese immigrant, Zita, living in Seattle. She faces taunting from classmates at school and abuse from her fanatically religious mother, Porky, a widow. Isolated and emotionally troubled, Zita finds an outlet in abusing animals and videotaping it. But one day, on the bus home, she meets a 20-year-old, homeless, Mexican boy named Fox, who she falls for fast. She is soon entrenched in a lifestyle of hard-partying nights, law-bending days and co-dependent young love.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fox | Male | Any | 20-25 | A 20-year-old, half-Latino, half-white, and heavily-tattooed delinquent who makes his living selling drugs and stealing. He grew up in Oregon with his mom until he became a foster child at the age of nine when his mom was sent to jail for killing his stepdad in the act of protecting Fox from getting drowned in the toilet. His biological dad lost his life in a gang fight. Tough on the surface, but a big softie underneath. Fox is wild, insecure and yearning for a place to belong (Please don't submit if you look over 25) |
| Porky | Female | Any | 45-60 | A 45-year-old, obese widow who lives off her dead husband’s life insurance, she’s let herself go--mentally and physically--ever since her husband died 10 years ago. She has spurts of clarity when she returns to her old self, every so often, but her daughter Zita never knows when to expect them. |
