Rebecca Cullen |Female |Age: 35–50 |Role Type: Leading |Non-Union
Otherworldly, almost witchy, but also tormented, mournful. She was a once-renowned, now controversial psychic detective, known for assisting the police in locating missing persons, even killers. But after a disastrous case in which she was accused of deception, her reputation was ruined and an alleged killer walked free. This final case scarred her in deeper, darker ways that aren't yet clear, and she now lives a threadbare, reclusive life in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn. That is, until the killings start, right across the street in Prospect Park. The murdered children call to her...and she is pulled back into her haunted calling. Enigmatic, yet also somewhat prim, Rebecca possesses a gothic strangeness that is almost Victorian. Still intimate with the unseen realms, nevertheless her sanity has not gone unscathed. She battles her own inner demons, and is reluctant to once more wade back into these dark waters. From the opening voice over to the final shot, this starring role commands the film. It is her story. The film is centered around Rebecca sharing her psychic episodes to a detective working the murders, trying to convince him to listen. But he has his own reasons for meeting with her, and by the film's end, his skepticism -- and her safety -- will be badly shaken.
