The Cast
The six characters our film follows - and the people portraying them.
Kwande Nkosi
as Bronwyn
she/her
She’s a creative soul who loves to explore new things. She’s always looking for new ways to challenge herself and learn something new. As an artist, she’s happiest when she’s creating. She also loves listening to music, reading books, art/photography, movies and good food!
Rania Awad
as Jade
she/her
Rania is a second year student at UW who is currently in her chill-not-chill phase. When she finds the time, she usually sketches silly portraits, crochets, listens to her only playlist, and screams OUT into the universe about nothing (very dramatic). This is her first time acting in front of a camera and she’s absolutely thrilled! Her hope is that this film will remind others to be patient and gentle with those experiencing any form of queer love and joy.
Ronan Pirkle
