Lead Actor Job in 'Get Out of Town', Female, Age 20-26 - Essie Valdez

Warm, intelligent, somewhat pessimistic with a subtle sarcastic sense of humor. Deeply empathetic to a fault and carries intense passion beneath a calm, burnt out exterior. Romantic lead; culturally Latin American/Hispanic; her cultural background and cuisine are important to the story. Open to actors of other ethnicities whose heritage connects to a cuisine and the role may be rewritten to reflect that.
