Seeking:
[ ALE/BLAZE ]
Looking for bilingual (English/Spanish) teens and youthful sounding adults to authentically portray a Latina teen (14) with South American heritage (Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, etc.) Must be a strong singer.
Storyline: Fourteen-year-old Alejandra Fuentes (Ale) is a starry-eyed musically gifted Latina eager to share her music with the world. This first gen American is balancing her Pop Star dreams with her South American parents’ expectations for her future - all while trying to stifle the unwelcome superpowers she’s had since birth. Superheroes commonly grapple with dual identities. Ale straddles three: model Miami high school student by day; viral social media Pop Star sensation “Blaze” by night; and reluctant superhero by, well…all the time. Ale never wanted to live the superhero life. She created her incognito stage identity in order to perform on social media without her parents finding out…but when she’s spotted using her powers and word gets out that Miami has its own (¡Spanish speaking!) superhero, Ale has no choice but to step up in service of her community as super-hero/singer BLAZE. Eventually she will embrace this persona as an extension of her authentic self and step into her own power, finally giving herself permission to become both the badass superhero and superstar she was always meant to be.
