Génesis Rodríguez is preparing for her latest role…

The 26-year-old Venezuelan- and Cuban-American actress has landed a role in the Kevin Smith-helmed indie film Tusk.

The film centers on a character named Teddy (portrayed by Haley Joel Osment), whose best friend and podcast co-host (Justin Long) goes missing in the backwoods of Canada.

He joins forces with his friend’s girlfriend (Rodríguez) to search for him.
