Kat – Supporting Actor

Kat is a young woman in her early 20s who works as a migrant labourer in the vineyards on Pelee Island, ON. She is strong-willed, intelligent and possesses a quiet confidence. Must be able to ride a bike.Synopsis:Retreat is a short film that follows grizzled songwriter Harold Murphy as he attempts to find solitude on a retreat to Pelee Island. He may be a local music legend, but Harold has lost his creative spark and he hopes that some time alone will enable him to write his next record. Instead of inspiration, Harold is distracted by the beauty and strangeness of the island and by a migrant worker on a bike who haunts his days. Visually stunning, featuring the landscape of Pelee Island and music by acclaimed musician (and true local legend) Ron Leary, Retreat is an ode to searching for your artistic voice and finding it in the most unlikely of places.Note: we will be filming on location on Pelee Island.
