Being left at the orphanage with a necklace, Jeremy is a young orphan boy who has been longing for his mother. Her sudden absence has caused him to build an invisible wall around himself, keeping others at a distance.
One day, a lady appears and is introduced to him as his new mother, Clara. However, his heart only has space for the one and only mother he knew. Like others, Clara is kept outside the invisible wall that Jeremy has created.

Being a freelance actress, I strongly believe every role is a given opportunity and learning process to develop oneself further into acting direction. With the determine to improve myself, after seeing the description stated at Mandy website, I have contacted Natassa directly, for the given opportunity to cast for Clara Role. On the very day, we have arranged to meet up at Temasek Polytechnic, that was when I have ought to know Natassa and Shereen Connelly, our young and Future Director/Producer.
My chosen Role ~ Clara, a role that required strong emotional feeling (crying required) and body language
With much discussion, testing on screen and scripts, the casting began. To play as Clara, I was being tested on my Acting skills (body languages), and expression. Although I am still in learning state in Acting, I have shown my professional by providing my best performance. During the play, I felt so strongly about Clara... her sadness after tons and tons of rejection from her foster son, my tears flowed naturally. This casting went successfully, with satisfaction.
And on the next day, I have received call that I'm being selected for Clara's role. So Happy! ^_^
