Character Summary:
Jesse Morales is a 17-year-old skater who keeps to himself. He doesn’t buy into ghost stories or town gossip—but after one night near the old drive-in, something changed. He doesn’t talk about it much. Doesn’t want to. But when he does, there’s a tension behind his words, like he’s still trying to convince himself it wasn’t real.
This role requires a natural, low-key performance. Jesse isn’t dramatic—he’s just trying to make sense of something that felt wrong. The actor should capture hesitation, discomfort, and that feeling of someone reliving something they’d rather forget.

"I could smell the tires, the burnt rubber on the asphalt… (slight pause, tension rising) and for a second, I thought of the kids who’ve gone missing. (voice lowers slightly) I didn’t wait to figure it out—I skated the hell outta there."
“The lights hit us, just for a second… (short pause, more focused) like it was picking who to go after. I didn’t say a word— (sharp, like replaying panic) I just took off. Didn’t even look back.”
(quiet, matter-of-fact with unease underneath) “I don’t go near Harlow Road anymore. No one does—not if they’ve heard the stories. And everyone’s heard the stories, ya know?”
