6 roles
LEAD. An aspiring film auteur struggling against a superficial industry to produce something meaningful. After peaking in film school, he spent years looking for work before agreeing to direct a vapid, reality TV project. Competent, quick to judge, and egotistical. Confident and controlling to a fault.
LEAD. A cutthroat executive willing to step over anyone in order to make it to the top. Understands and masters the rules of the industry. She isn’t here to make friends. Sardonic, witty, and cruel.
SUPPORTING. A professional cameraman who recognizes the boundaries and responsibilities of his job. Keeps track of every line so he never crosses one. Friendly, respectful, and quiet. Always the observer.
SUPPORTING A chipper junior executive who doesn’t understand the cruelty of the industry that their sister, Diane, has offered them a place in. An unassuming, glass half full type who stands out amid suits and executives. A lamb in the wolf’s den.
SUPPORTING An aspiring actress willing to play the part of the “wide-eyed girl next door” in order to find success in a superficial industry. Friendly and chipper. The light at the end of the tunnel.
Various Ages. A wide variety of celebrity impersonators. Should have strong comedic timing and be able to make a strong impression.
