Lead Actor Job in 'Hot Dancing Granny', Female, Age 45-65 - Sue | The Mother

Mae Zhang McCauley, writer-dir. Boston, Massachusetts

Chinese, speaks Mandarin and English. Lulu's sometimes skeptical, but mostly supportive mother. She immigrated to the U.S. in her mid-20s, eager to escape her critical mother (Lao Lao), and is committed to having a different relationship with her own daughter.

With Lao Lao arriving on a visit from China and a rushed self-tape audition for Lulu both coinciding on the same day, Sue finds herself sucked into old habits and beliefs she thought she grew out of. All of a sudden, she's a little girl again, whose dancing was never good enough for her mom. She gets trapped in the doomed cycle of passing her hurt to her own daughter in this moment.

Think Joan Chen in Didi, a mother with a relatable empathy—someone who's trying her best with what she inherited.
