Projects:

• Before The Fall (Feature Film)

• Potentially Before The Fire, Before The Fuel, and Alice Across The Land Season 2 (TBD)

⸻

🌫️ ROLE: JOSEPH THOMPSON

Joseph is the kind of boy people make myths about. He’s not the center of the story, but somehow, he’s the one everything breaks around. He’s Willoughby Tucker in a sun-drenched graveyard — haunting, beautiful, already halfway gone.

To Alice, he’s comfort and danger. To the world, he’s just another lost boy. But inside? He’s thunder in a bottle, and no one ever taught him not to drink it.

This role spans across multiple chapters of the Before Era, including:

• Before The Fall — a devastating, intimate portrayal of a doomed love

• (Possibly) Before The Fire, Before The Fuel, and Alice Across The Land Season 2

💬 FROM THE CREATOR

Joseph is not a villain. He’s a boy caught in the wrong kind of love, too fragile to hold it and too afraid to let it go. He is the silence after the scream. He is the person you swear you’ll save, even if it kills you. Show us the part of you that still believes love can fix what’s already broken.
