The Fisherman
Project Overview
The Fisherman is an animated horror/thriller film that takes place in 1630 in New England.
It revolved around The Fisherman, a man who leads a quiet life fishing for work. He has one wife and two young children. He is a religious man, but his faith is tested as mysterious curses befall him and his home. Among these curses is the dreaded Leviathan, the mythical sea serpent that haunts the Fisherman from the horizon.
Most roles have already been cast, but two still need to be filled: The Leviathan and The Daughter. Both are only a few sentences.
An important aspect of the film is the pronunciation, it takes place in 1630 so the dialect is Early Modern English. Here are some examples:

Supporting Role
The Leviathan is a large, monstrous sea serpent. With only his head and neck out of the water, he still stands over a hundred feet tall, with winding tentacles, fins, and sharp teeth. He is the embodiment of the dark forces that torment The Fisherman throughout the film. The Leviathan haunts The Fisherman in the shadows for the majority of the film, but when he does finally speak to The Fisherman, he aims to put the fear of God in him.

Can mortal man be just as God? His maker be less righteous?
So thou best hold thy tongue and scold, the ways of God no more.
The Daughter is the young child of The Fisherman. Sheis a very energetic and outgoing six-year-old, who wants nothing more than to play outside and spend time with her family. But as the curses befall the household, she becomes increasingly terrified.
