Casting Call: Actress Needed for Griselda in Majora’s Mask Short Film

A casting call for an actress in Albuquerque is now open for the role of Griselda in A Skull Kid Story — an original short film written by Ivan Castaneda, inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (2000) and The Mask (1994). Story Quest Studios is proud to share this casting call for actresses in Albuquerque looking for a compelling dramatic role with a fast turnaround.

About the Film

A Skull Kid Story follows a group of friends searching for their missing friend Mark, who has been possessed by the cursed Majora’s Mask. When the group confronts the Mask itself, they are forced to reckon with dark themes of lost innocence and coming of age — deeply relevant for modern young adults. Developed in collaboration with the UNM Film and Digital Media Arts program, this project is a polished student production with professional support behind it.

The Role: Griselda

Character: Griselda — smart, independent, early 20s. She is the emotional anchor of the group and the one who takes charge when things go wrong. A strong, grounded performance is essential for this role.
