Available roles, offered on a deferred-compensation basis:

  • KEVIN — M, late 20s. An underachieving entrepreneur, perpetually searching for his ‘big break.’ Grounded and intense at times, he is nevertheless playful and generally patient. His inventor’s spirit is more a defense mechanism than any real direction. Athletic build a plus.
  • GRANT — M, late 20s. Kevin’s friend. One of the world’s innocents. Often single-minded or hyper focused on things that seem trivial to others, he is enthusiastic about life if also a tad oblivious. Prone to daydreaming.
  • BEATRICE JANE (BJ). F, late 20s. Grant’s love interest. The bartender/owner. Tough exterior; strong and capable, but not invulnerable. A somewhat reluctant owner, she inherited the bar from her father. Must play against character type in Grant’s dream sequences.

Cold readings from the script (no prepared monologues).
Shooting will begin in November.
