Silvia

Silvia is a lonely girl whose obsession with charlie chaplin has turned her into a bit of an outcast. She attempts to be an imitator but is held back by the fact that she is a girl. This is a non speaking role so being comfortable in front of a camera with a focus on visual performance is great.

Narrator

The narrator is the intelligent, ever-present center of the film. He explains everything that the characters, in their silence, cannot. French speaking would be helpful, but ability to learn the french and fake an accent is acceptable.

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience
