STORYLINE – Precocious 12-year-old Louisa Mae Cardinal and her younger brother Oz must go to live on their great-grandmother’s farm in Virginia. Lou finds herself coming of age in a new landscape, makes her first true friend, and experiences a struggle played out in a Virginia courtroom that will determine her future and the future of her entire family.

This feature film will be under the SAG-AFTRA Low Budget film agreement. This is a preliminary regional search for the following 3 roles only.

LOU CARDINAL – 12-14, Caucasian. Pretty and feisty. A tomboy. She wants to be a writer like her father whom she greatly admires. Lou is overwhelmed when her father is killed and her mother is left catatonic in a car accident. She is apprehensive about her move to the south, but is also curious to learn more about the family her father never talked about – especially her great-grandmother. LEAD

OZ CARDINAL – 9-11, Caucasian. Lou’s younger brother. Quiet. He is sometimes dismissed by his older sister for being seemingly naïve, but still looks up to her. Ever hopeful, Oz has a positive view of the world, and brings much needed humor to his sister’s struggle. LEAD

DIAMOND SKINNER– 10-14, Caucasian. A skinny, mischievous “mountain boy” with an authentic southern accent. He develops a close friendship with Lou and Oz. He takes pride in showing off his mountain and its countryside, especially to Lou. LEAD
