VALLEY OF THE TALL GRASS
A TV/VCR combo set is thrown out in an Oregon town, but it survives and circulates through the lives of various Indigenous characters of color. In this multi-character portrait, young sisters, an artist, a junkyard scrapper, and his skater daughter all find connection through this seemingly obsolete object.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
In search of the young role, KENNY. He’s 12-18 years old. A shy African American kid. He's a natural at skating-- he can impress easily, but isn't comfortable with being the center of attention. He's grown up around lots of white kids, so he knows what it feels like to stand out and have unrealistic expectations put on him. He's smart and likes to defy those expectations. He's a mama's boy with a big, kind heart, but he's learned to be aloof to avoid judgment.
No Acting Experience Necessary.
Strong skating ability preferred.
