Looking for Asian-American Lead Actress for Short Film (Paid – Brooklyn, NY)

Hi! I am a Senior at the Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) and am currently casting my thesis.
We will be shooting on January 14, 15, and 16 in Brooklyn, NY. The job is non-union, but the lead actors will be paid for their work ($50/day) and food/travel will be covered during the shoot as well.
If you have any interest in auditioning, please submit your self-tape to our Backstage listing (linked below) or send them directly.
I look forward to hearing from you all!

IN MORNING SYNOPSIS:
On a morning when nothing is going right, a huge cut appears on Hester’s hand. Hester must go about her day, hiding this cut from the world, making it seem like everything is okay as she is bleeding out in front of them.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER:
Hester is an Asian American woman in her mid-twenties, recently graduated from college, beginning her life in the real world. For years, Hester has compromised herself for the sake of others: she allows people at her job to take advantage of her and has put copious amounts of effort into her long-term relationship with a man who truly is not worth the effort.
And yet, she goes along with it. She accepts it. For it is what she has been taught to do.
In this film, Hester is realizing the consequence of always putting others before herself and must finally acknowledge the fact that she has hollowed herself out as a result of this way of living.
