Acting : Substantial Female Roles by Aaron Newman

Substantial Female Roles

For the female actors - what type of screen roles are you wanting to play. I have two scripts that feature strong female leads. One is a ruthless digital fixer, and one is a 9/11 survivor who suffers a concussion and a distorted reality while travelling through NYC. I have always liked female roles more than male roles. I am interested if these roles I have written are of interest. Let me know yay or nay on the roles I have written.

Hi Aaron Newman both of those roles sound like an intriguing challenge to me!

Thanks for reaching out and for the comment..These are both really great female lead roles. Trying to find actresses who would champion them to their management and want to see them come to life.

I really connect to what you’re saying here.

For me, it always starts with loving what I write, otherwise it has no weight. But at the same time, I’m very aware that film is also a commercial space. I don’t separate the two.

The story stays true to itself, but the way it’s told, the pacing, the visuals, the structure — has to invite an audience in. That’s where it becomes cinematic and accessible.

I’m currently working on a sci-fi feature, THE SINGER, which lives exactly in that space. A high-concept world on the surface, but something emotional underneath.

LOGLINE:

In a silent future where music is outlawed, a girl whose voice pierces the atmosphere awakens a city—and uncovers the truth about who she really is.

I think the goal is to make something that people feel — and still want to watch.

Curious how you navigate that balance in your work.
