My Desi Girl casting call

For My Desi Girl, I am looking for enthusiastic actors and actresses who can bring the characters to life! Especially for the roles within Rhea's family, I am looking for actors with a Dutch-Indian background. It is important to me that Indian culture is portrayed in a recognizable and authentic way. Therefore, I would find it incredibly valuable to work with people who know this culture from home and can bring their own experiences to the set. It is a nice bonus if you speak Hindi and/or Bengali in addition to Dutch, but this is certainly not a requirement! In addition, I am of course also looking for an actress for the role of Willemijn. For all the roles, I find it especially important that we have a good connection and that we can create a warm, funny, and believable film together. WILLEMIJN – Lead role Willemijn is an enthusiastic, spontaneous, and self-confident girl who sometimes acts a little too impulsively. She is head over heels in love with Rhea and wants nothing more than to make a good impression on her family. However, her well-intentioned enthusiasm regularly leads to awkward and hilarious situations. RHEA – Lead role Rhea is a sweet, caring, and sometimes somewhat insecure girl with an Indian background. She is in love with Willemijn but finds it difficult to be open about their relationship with her parents. She tries to keep everyone happy and prefers to avoid confrontations. RHEA'S FATHER – Supporting role A proud, loving Indian father who values his family. He has his own expectations of his daughter and can sometimes be a bit traditional. His reactions to unexpected situations within the family lead to comical moments. For both parent roles, I am looking for actors with an Indian background. An affinity with Indian culture is important, and speaking Hindi and/or Bengali is a great advantage.
