Mary LaRoy
Actor – “Mia” (The Wife)
Mary LaRoy is a French-Canadian actress based in Ottawa. With a background in local theatre and short films, she brings a sharp emotional instinct to the screen. She has been a frequent collaborator with director Dominik Denis DiMario and is known for her ability to balance vulnerability with intensity. Mary also appeared in a St-Hubert Rotisserie commercial alongside Patrice Bélanger.
As Mia, Hunter’s wife, Mary plays a woman navigating passion, grief, and buried rage. Her performance anchors the emotional tension that pulses beneath the film’s surface.
Cast (To be revealed during campaign)
We’re finalizing our cast of six performers — four women, two men — who will portray a complex web of grief, memory, and silence. Each character brings a different shade to the emotional mystery at the center of the film. Stay tuned as we introduce each actor through our campaign updates.
Collaborators & Creative Support
The project also includes creative feedback and visual development input from a small circle of trusted artists in Ottawa and beyond. Everyone involved is committed to respectful, efficient, and ethical filmmaking.
