Breakdown

THE LIGHTNING THIEF (TYA Edition)

In regard to the character descriptions – they outline the characters as described in the script and in consultation with the creative team. They do not aim to be all-encompassing representations of who might fill these roles. We aim for an expansive and deliberate casting process. We acknowledge that the characters in the script are traditionally presented as either male or female (using he/him or she/her pronouns). We warmly welcome submissions from individuals who identify as gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, or non-binary for the roles that resonate most with their identity.

Video submissions are viewed through the platform AIRTABLE. Please note that viewing submissions through Airtable does not always register as a "view" on services like YouTube and Vimeo. However, all submissions are viewed by the artistic team.
